Let’s plan a Mission Trip to Houston for your group or join the annual trip each October. We have been leading these mission trips for numerous years and always love to see what new things God does each year.
Oct. mission trips are 3 days/ 2 nights – $175 plus some meals price based on those who get in time to stay on base, hotel lodging is extra. We have had to raise the price due some unexpected price increases. (Other groups can book longer options if requested).
Next trip is October 2026, dates are Sat. Oct. 10th to Mon. Oct. 12th (Columbus Day).
$75 deposit due Thurs. Aug. 20th / $100 payment due Thurs. Sept. 17th. (Avoid late fees, listed below.)
This Mission Houston is a great opportunity to make a difference by serving & ministering to the people in and nearby the communities by sharing our Father’s heart. Each mission trip can involve different outreaches & activities.
For Mission Houston, we usually stay in Hungerford. We have grown to love the people there, those in Houston and all the people at the different outreach opportunities where ever they may be. There are fun ways to love on the kids & young people, whether it’s passing out free gifts, giving out candy, making balloon animals or being clowns. We help a drug and alcohol rehab Christian ministry. May be opportunities to give your testimony to individuals, along with other ways to share God’s heart in unique ways. We’ll also be doing a service project, demonstrating God’s love in a practical way. And putting on a youth rally with worship, prayer areas, games, a message from God’s Word, ministry time and also leading a main adult church service and leading kid’s church. We will want to be prayed up so we can truly impact these people with the truth and love of Jesus.
Email for new address if needing to “snail mail” a check or sending forms please.
Schedule UPDATE – meet there at base 4pm.
Let us know if you, your church group, or ministry are interested in joining in on this trip or in putting a group together for another mission’s trip.
Cost covers 2 nights lodging (spots are limited and then there’s hotel options), the meals that are at the base, outreach costs & supplies. You need to bring money for travel meals & some other meals out. Notify us if you’re available to bring your vehicle or you’re hoping to chip in for gas and ride with someone in one of the possible caravans.
Individual adults, young adults & youth new to EGP (that we do not know) that are not coming with a church group are invited to fill out an application, provide character references & complete the sexual abuse awareness training. Adults 18 and older, pay for a background check.
Youth groups with their youth pastor can join up. (Individual teenagers joining may need to have at least one parent or adult leader coming with them.)
For trips where a teenager may need to miss a school day, let us know if you need a letter to give to the school for an exemption for day(s) missed due to a Christian mission’s trip. If it’s a year we’re going over Columbus Day, then you wouldn’t be missing any school.
NOTE: Teenagers not coming with a church group, may need to have a parent or a youth worker from your church be a part of certain trips depending on how many servant leaders (youth workers) are able to help.
Parents (with EGP approval) can usually bring their younger kids as we believe in family ministry.
Driving directions are below.
LODGING – Each trip’s lodging may vary. Some may need to bring an inflatable mattress or there be twin mattresses on the floor. At times there may be some bunk beds available. (See pics below).
