Second
Career Missionary
Whether you're a couple with grown children or single and looking for
a meaningful way to live out the second half of your life, consider a second
career as a missionary in a foreign country.
Career Missionary
Become a missionary by immersing yourself
in the culture of a foreign field. Career missionaries maintain residence
in a foreign country for the purpose of evangelism and/or leadership development.
Vision
Trips
Are you thinking about missions as a career? Experiencing
missions by commiting to just one to two years in the field can help you
to get to know the culture, the needs and the language. Before you take
the larger step of career missions, consider taking a vision trip.
Short-Term
Trip Archive
New Hope Church has been a part of sending hundreds
of individuals on short-term missions experiences. Consider where in the
world God may be leading you to share his love.
 Bulgaria
English Instruction Trips
The Republic of Bulgaria was one of the most closed communist societies
until the change that began in 1989. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union,
it has passed through a time of politiacl, social and economic transition.
Our Bulgaria English Instuction trips provide a relational, friendship
evangelism opportunity created by teaching conversational English to individuals
from the city of Zlatograd located in the Radopi Mountains in Southern
Bulgaria. We have also brought encouragement to a small evangelical church
in the area. Times of worship, Bible study and prayer have bonded our
teams with these Bulgarian believers.
Women's Ministries Bulgaria Trips
These trips have focused on serving orphans and women at risk in Sofia,
the capital and largest city of Bulgaria. The team taught life skills and
cottage industry opportunities to individuals in this region. NHC has concentrated
service in this area of the world for many years and we have seen the Lord
do some amazing work over that time.
 Guatemala/Kids’ Alive
Trips
These trips provide skilled workers who share their abilities to build
facilities that aid and assist orphan girls needing care. The NHC teams
have helped with construction projects, educational programs and special
activities for children. The mission of Kids Alive Guatemala is to
develop responsible Christian adults from children who were once in at-risk
situations. They provide quality Christian homes and/or relationship-based
day programs that equip the children spiritually, educationally, physically,
emotionally and vocationally so that they are able to become responsible
Christian adults who impact their country for Jesus Christ. Learn more
about Kids
Alive Guatemala.
Czech Trips
Student Ministries has coordinated trips to serve in the Czech Republic.
This ministry has been aimed at bringing non-Christian students face-to-face
with young believers who are excited about their faith. The goal is to
communicate the love of Christ through actions and words. The friendships
made have opened many doors to sharing the gospel message. These trips
have been life-changing for our students and those in the Czech Republic.
Domincan Republic Trip
Several members of New Hope Church are taking part in a mission trip to the
Dominican Republic from August 22-30.
Keep track of how the trip is going from the team blog.
