At Christ Covenant Church we value the partnerships we have with our supported workers. Short term mission trips are formed by the request of a supported worker or a growing church partnership to assist with a specific need. We want to show the love of Christ through helping and serving wherever we go, whether that is domestic or international. These trips are intended to 1) serve our supported workers and church partners and 2) provide vision, insight, and opportunity to those who may be considering full time missions work, for an individual to grow spiritually, and for those who feel led to minister in a specific short term experience. Below are our current short term mission trip opportunities:
Cabo, Mexico
The Cabo team works in partnership with two churches: Comunidad de Gracia, pastored by a former intern Pedro Pollorna’s cousin, Witzy, and Fuente de Vita pastored by Otto Roblero, with the long term view of partnering with Christ Covenant pastoral intern, Alberto Paredes, and former pastoral intern, Pedro Pollorena. Upon graduation from seminary, Alberto and Pedro will return to San Jose del Cabo to pastor churches. Participants in this trip will assist with construction, yard work, or anything else the church needs. They will also hold a Vacation Bible School for the community where they will share the gospel, act out skits, and make crafts.
