WHAT IS A TYPICAL MISSION TEAM?
Mission Teams are comprised of Evangelical Churches, Schools, and Businesses. We match the skills of your team with our strategy to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and meet the physical needs of vulnerable children and their families.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE ON MY TEAM?
You'll find that the Pearl Foundation is a very strategic, people-centered ministry - not a large corporate mission entity. We find that teams of 30 or less can have the greatest impact in our communities.
WHO WILL YOU SERVE?
A typical family in our communities live on about $2/day. Jobs and food are often scarce and many live in homes made of old rusty tin and plastic, or block with a dirt floor. Some communities have limited electricity and water while others have none.
WHAT WILL YOU DO DURING YOUR TRIP?
We match the skills of your team with our strategy of sustainable growth and sharing the Gospel of Jesus. Options include VBS for children, Bible Studies for Adults, Construction of Homes, Door-to-Door Evangelism, Feeding Ministries, and more.
