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.

Until the whole world hears!

This phrase has been stirring in my heart and mind for the past several years.  Over the years with all of the mission trips that I have been on, God has tugged at my heart, to want everyone that I know and come in contact with to experience the love of Christ and to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

On my first mission trip with e3 Partners I was blessed to share the Gospel early one morning with a lady in her small fabric store in the front room of her house.  Little did I know, but one of her employees working on the other side of the room behind a counter was listening as we shared the hope, peace and love that Christ offers.  After sharing the good news with the owner of the shop we asked her if she would like to ask Jesus to become her Lord and Savior.  That’s when the employee came running up to us with tears in her eyes wanting to have in her heart what she had been missing her whole life.  She said that she knew something was missing in her life and there was nothing she could do to fill that void. She said when she heard the words that we were speaking there was a feeling that came over her and something was different something that she had never felt before.  The Holy Spirit was working in her life. We prayed with both the ladies that day for them to accept the love, hope and peace that Jesus has to offer.  Many people gave their life to Christ on that trip.  I see the work that is being done through e3 Partners to disciple new believers as new churches are being started all over the world.

Back in 2012 I felt God calling me to join with e3 Partners as an International Church Planter.  This position calls for me to partner with friends and family like you to raise support.  Would you pray about the possibility of supporting me through e3 Partners as I share the Gospel and plant churches internationally.
