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.
Jolene Balazs' Bible Storying Fundraiser
I'm now in my 10th year of being an Oral Strategy Communication Specialist with e3 Partners Ministry! I also have served as a trainer for Bible story projects with StoryRunners, a ministry of Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ). I have completed 6 of these one month long trainings!
We also offer week-long trainings in Plano, Texas and throughout the United States for those churches/organizations who see the necessity of using Bible stories to reach the unreached in their own communities. With the number of refugees who are now calling the United States as their home, Bible stories are a great way to develop relationships with them in a way that they understand and appreciate which leads to spiritual conversations and commitment.
Every gift makes an impact for the Kingdom of God!
Over 75% of the world communicates orally through verbal storytelling, drama, and song. Conveniently, over 70% of the Bible consists of stories. Jolene helps train international ministry leaders in how to use chronological Bible stories to evangelize, disciple, train leaders and plant churches.
Besides international trips to train people in Bible storying, she helps lead national trainings for churches and ministries who are interested in using this strategy in their communities and ministries.
Previously Jolene was on staff with Global Aid Network (GAiN), the humanitarian arm of Cru, for 9 years. She helped lead teams of volunteers to many countries to distribute aid and share the gospel in orphanages, prisons, hospitals and other facilities.
Since 1996, she has gone to 15+ countries sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and now training believers to share Bible stories in their homes, villages and communities.
Funds raised through this account go towards expenses to train the internationals as well as Jolene's ministry/travel expenses for future trips.
We continue to press on towards our goal, a world where the body of Christ and its life-saving message are available to every person - in a culturally appropriate way whether they are literate or illiterate.
You can partner with me at e3 Partners Ministry to help develop culturally appropriate oral Bible stories in the languages of unreached people around the world to accelerate evangelism, discipleship, leader development and church planting among them.
