India
Goal: The goal of these trips is to minister to women and children who are at high risk of being trafficked, are currently enslaved in trafficking or have been rescued from trafficking or red-light districts. The team’s goal is to share the hope and redemption Jesus offers to these women. Due to the spiritual darkness teams encounter, it is essential to consider this trip with an abundance of prayer. This trip is great for both men and women. However, when the team gets the opportunity to interact with women in the red-light districts, the men will want to show extreme discretion in how they interact.
Average Schedule: Each trip begins at your closest airport. VBB will provide you with enough materials to fill a checked bag as well as coordinate with you to fill the second bag with supplies for the women in India. You will meet up with your team lead before flying into the destination country. These trips often fly directly into Southeast Asia with the materials. Once the team arrives in India, they will begin ministering to women and sharing the love of Christ through the ministry in the red-light district. We enjoy taking nurses and hair dressers on this team as well, to care for the women and train those working in the salon in the red-light.

If you’re interested in working with Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East to help spread the Gospel to Muslim communities, this may be the trip for you!

Children's Homes
Goal: The goal of this trip is to reach out to what Jesus would call “the least of these.” Orphans all over the world are often seen as a lower level of human, and have been given little hope of success in society. But as we know it, they have untold and unending value to our Father in Heaven. Because of this, we have made it a priority to reach out to these children by emotionally caring and serving them with our time and gifts. In demonstrating this love, we give orphans the opportunity to see that their true father is Christ and He sees their incredible value.
Schedule: Each team may experience a slightly different schedule. Throughout the year, teams will help with special projects, teach, or bring gifts for Christmas. Please contact our trip coordinator for further information about this trip.

Medical Missions Trips
Goal: One of the largest needs worldwide is that of medical assistance. For this trip, our goal is to bring Christ and aid to those who are sick and physically broken. Jesus gave this example in His ministry while on Earth. We want to continue it with men and women who have experience in the medical field and are willing to reach those in need of assistance. During this trip, the team will bring medical supplies in their suitcases and administer aid to those in different circumstances. Because medical skills are more of a specialty skill, we encourage all Christians with a medical background to consider applying. There are millions waiting for this type of aid. May Christians be the ones to answer the call!
Dates:
