This trip clearly showed me that God is in control! Moving forward, I want to be more Pura Vida [pure life] in my daily life, not only in prayer, but in action.

Why go on the Filter of Hope mission trip?

Around the world, countless communities don’t have access to safe drinking water. 

Giving clean water and an opportunity to hear the gospel gives honour, dignity, and hope. 

Filter of Hope empowers volunteers to give these things to families in need.

Compassion: God’s love motivates us to help families who are struggling with water-borne illnesses and spiritual darkness. 

Living on mission: We want to join in with God’s desire  to see the end of the global water crisis and the day when all people have heard about Jesus.

Local partnerships: In-country partners help us bridge cultural gaps and work more effectively and sustainably in their communities.

If you’re passionate or even just curious about any of these things, consider joining our Filter of Hope mission trip!

Handshake

Local partnerships

You’ll work through local partners to amplify their ministry, by cultivating conversations and sharing the love of Christ.

Integral mission

You’ll experience “integral mission” where meeting practical needs creates opportunities for evangelism, as you show the transforming grace of Jesus Christ.

Community outreach

You’ll learn about God’s love and care for the marginalized through offering water filters, prayer, and conversations about Jesus.

What happens on the Filter of Hope mission trip?

You and your team of other students and P2C-S staff will work alongside Filter of Hope’s local church partners. They will prepare the neighbourhoods and families that your team will visit even before you arrive. 

Your team will split into small groups with a translator and a representative from the local church. Together you’ll visit families in their homes. You’ll offer them a simple, life-changing water filter,  an opportunity to hear how much God loves them, and a Spanish New Testament. 

Local church partners will follow up with the families that your team visits. They’ll disciple anyone who chooses to follow Christ. This follow-up ensures that the ministry you take part in is sustainable and continues long after you leave.

What a typical day might look like:

  • You spend your mornings and afternoons connecting with families in the communities of church partners. You’ll get to know them. You’ll give them a water filter and maybe a Bible. And through a translator you’ll share the gospel. 

  • In the evenings, you’ll connect with your team. You’ll process your experiences and how God is working in you and in this location. 

  • There will also be opportunities for you to see and experience the local culture. 

How is the Filter of Hope mission trip funded?

The cost of each Mission Trip includes international airfare, orientation, all ministry-related expenses, debrief, in-country transportation, housing, meals, and administration. 

Once accepted, we will provide coaching and training on how to invite people to financially and prayerfully partner with you. Support raising can be an opportunity for you to grow in faith by trusting God to provide. It also gives your community the opportunity to join in what God is doing.
