A mission trip occurs during the Mission Experience. The Mission Experience for Paper Houses begins as the individual travels from considering participation to the realization that they are signing up for a specific mission date.
We strongly urge people to begin a Mission Journal. By writing down the 'who, what, where, and why' of this decision to walk the streets of the poor, we open our hearts and senses to the experience. Slowing down the hectic pace we live is part of the experience and it takes some prep-work.
Often, we host mandatory mission workshops. We encourage families to talk with friends, relatives, people at work and people at church about their decision to participate in this mission experience and to explain what you are doing on this mission and why.
Participants in our mission experiences and our supporters are not thought of as volunteers or donors. They were chosen by God and accepted what He offered. Participants enter into a sort of sacred contract with God.
