Your kids will remember a mission trip long after they forget a tournament score and we’ve seen it firsthand. Brittany sits down with three FBC moms (and one of our trip leaders), Teresa, Dallas, and Christie, to share what happened when our families served together on a family mission trip to the Yucatan near Cancun, Mexico. We talk about the honest stuff parents worry about: safety, sickness, language barriers, time off work, and the big question of how a family can afford a trip like this.

Along the way, we tell stories that stuck with us, from a scary day in a hotel with a sick child to the unexpected joy of watching kids make friends across a language gap. We also zoom out to the deeper why: giving our children a bigger perspective, learning to see another culture with respect, and realizing God is not “just here” in our town or our church. Christie shares how worship with believers in another country feels like a glimpse of Revelation 7:9, and why that experience can anchor a child’s faith for life.

We also get practical about fundraising, support letters, church scholarships, and “God’s economy,” plus year round mission partnerships like Christmas gifts for students and teachers, sponsorships for education, and providing nutritious lunches so kids can learn well. If you’ve been on the fence about Christian missions as a family, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share with a parent friend, and leave a review to help more families find the courage to say yes.
