Virtual Mission Trip FAQs
Do I need to take time off from work to go on a virtual mission trip?
Nope! Our virtual mission trips will fit in with your work schedule. A typical e3 virtual mission trip will meet 4-5 times in the evenings over the course of 1-2 weeks.
How much of a time commitment is a virtual mission trip?
Our virtual mission trips usually consist of about 8-10 hours of virtual gathering time over the course of 1-2 weeks. Additionally there are some self-paced evangelism, prayer, and discipleship opportunities throughout the trip.
How does a virtual mission trip work? What can I expect to do?
Our virtual mission trips provide you with opportunities to worship with other believers across the country and the world. You’ll learn from, and receive evangelistic training from missionaries and national partners abroad. You’ll get to experience some of the cultural distinctives of the country you virtually travel to, like the food they eat, typical greetings, clothes they wear, etc. You’ll hear stories of what God is doing in that country, and how your prayers and support are making an impact. And you’ll get to put your training into practice through prayer walks and door-to-door evangelism in your own community.
What is the typical schedule of a virtual mission trip?
The schedule varies from trip to trip, but for the most part, they all meet virtually 4-5 times over the course of 1-2 weeks. Each meeting consists of worship, prayer, stories and evangelism training with national partners and missionaries, and immersion in the culture of the country you’re virtually traveling to. There are also opportunities throughout the 1-2 weeks for self-paced Bible reading, prayer walks, and sharing God’s story and demonstrating His love in your own community.
What time of day will we meet for our virtual trip?
Typically, the meetings are in the evenings, after work hours, for about 1-2 hours each time.
Will I get to interact with national partners and missionaries abroad during my virtual mission trip?
Yes! Depending on the time zone differences, you may have missionaries and national partners join your evening meetings for live evangelism training, stories, and worship time together. And if the time zone differences are further apart, you’ll receive video updates, stories, training, and encouragement from the national partners and missionaries throughout your virtual trip.
How many people normally attend a virtual mission trip?
We’ve already taken groups of more than 40 and 50 on a virtual mission trip! So, if you’re looking for something your Bible class or a large portion of your church congregation can experience together, e3’s virtual mission trips are a great option. We’ve also taken several trips with 10 to 20 people as well, so e3’s virtual mission trips are great for life groups, small groups, and even individuals looking to experience a new culture and make an impact for the Kingdom.
What is the average cost of a virtual mission trip?
With no expenses for plane tickets, lodging or meals, virtual mission trips can be as low as $25 to attend! Most range from $50 to $100, and most of the funds go directly to supporting the work in the country you’re virtually traveling to.
Jan and Chuy's Staff Support Fundraiser
Our Story: Adventuring with God!
Most of you know that I (Jan) have been on staff with e3 Partners for over 20 years now and was previously widowed for 26 years. In 2011 God brought an amazing man (Chuy Martinez) into my life. We married in 2012. A year later Chuy turned in his chef hat and knife in exchange for a call to full-time missions. His heart was drawn to use his talents for the Lord. Actually, he did hold on to that knife, and since we both love cooking, we often are asked to do events for e3 Partners, our church, marriages and even funerals.
We are currently working together with a focus on Community Transformation (CT). CT is training the local churches to engage their communities, recognize their needs and develop strategies to address and provide solutions. This results in giving hope to the local people, improving their lives and connecting the church to their community.
At this time we have been overjoyed working with local refugees here in Arizona. We are so grateful and very blessed by having a wonderful team of ministry supporters who choose to invest in expanding God's Kingdom by partnering with us in our lives and ministry. We could not do the work of the Lord without your partnership. We thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts!
Love,
Chuy & Jan
"May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, and enliven your speech." 2 Thessalonians. 2:17
