Trip Description

GO JAARS Family

Have you been looking for a way to get your family involved in missions? This is a great, family friendly trip for you and your children! JAARS stands for Jungle Aviation and Radio Services – this is an incredible place in the beautiful foothills of North Carolina where missionaries gather to train and prepare to take the Gospel to some of the hardest to reach places in our world. Nearly 700 million people speaking roughly 5,000 languages have little-to-no Scripture in a language they can fully understand—their mother tongue, or heart language. And when they can’t understand what they read or hear, the life transforming power of the Gospel is stopped in its tracks, JAARS exists to do something about that!

The team will participate in renovation, landscaping and special projects to support the workers at JAARS! If you’re a pilot, aviation mechanic, or technology guru there’s spots for you, too! A week of hard work can improve the JAARS campus for years. Your team might clear a landing strip, or fix up a house that missionaries stay in while they train, or plant flowers to give a warm welcome to the thousands of people who visit JAARS to learn about Bible translation. Whatever it is it will be fun and you’ll get the opportunity to meet and hear from incredible people doing amazing work all over the world.

The cost for this trip is $350 for those 12+ years old and $200 for kids 11 and under.
