Oklahoma City is home to more than a million people and countless opportunities to serve, build relationships, and share the hope of Jesus. Our team will partner with Olivet Baptist Church, located in the heart of OKC, to help strengthen its connection with the surrounding community and point people toward Jesus.
Throughout the project, we may serve people experiencing homelessness, participate in community events, host activities such as a soccer camp, complete light work projects, prayer walk neighborhoods, distribute information, and look for natural opportunities to have Gospel conversations. The goal is simple: meet real needs, love people well, share the Gospel, and help build bridges between Olivet and the people who live around it.
Olivet desires to be a Gospel oasis in the city, a place where people facing real struggles, pain, questions, and brokenness can discover real grace, truth, community, forgiveness, and transformation through Jesus. We’ll put boots on the ground to help the church serve its neighbors and make Christ known.
This is an excellent first mission trip. It’s short enough to fit into a busy summer, long enough to make a meaningful impact, and intentionally designed to be low cost with big impact. Participants will stay at Olivet, which has great facilities and plenty of space for mission teams. Individuals are welcome to join, and churches or student ministries can bring an entire group.

Alaska is known for breathtaking mountains, endless wilderness, and incredible adventure, but it is also a mission field filled with people who need the hope of Jesus. Communities are spread across a massive state, and local churches and missionaries are faithfully working to build relationships, make disciples, and share the Gospel. Our Alaska Projects gives teams the opportunity to come alongside those already doing the work and help them reach their communities.
Part of our teams serve in the Copper River Valley alongside Brian and Heather Williams and their ministry, Fields of Alaska. The Williams family is investing their lives in this spiritually underserved region by sharing the Gospel, making disciples, developing leaders, and working toward planting healthy churches. Our team will help strengthen Fields of Alaska through outreach, service projects, Gospel conversations, and practical ministry that helps them build relationships throughout the valley.
We’ll also partner with Cross Roads Baptist Church in North Pole, Alaska, helping the church reach children, students, and families in its community. One opportunity will be serving through their Centershot Archery ministry, which uses archery instruction alongside biblical teaching to build relationships and share the Gospel. Teams may also participate in community outreach, service projects, church ministry, and other creative opportunities that help Cross Roads build bridges with its neighbors and point people to Jesus.
This trip combines two different ministry settings with one purpose: come alongside faithful local leaders, serve their communities, build relationships, and create opportunities for people to hear the Gospel. And while you’ll experience some of the incredible beauty and adventure of Alaska along the way, the real reason we’re going is to help advance the Gospel in the Last Frontier.

GUATEMALA PROJECT
Join us in Guatemala as we partner with Campos de Sueños (Fields of Dreams) to serve children and families in Santa María de Jesús, a community located near Antigua at the foot of Volcán de Agua. Campos de Sueños exists to bring the love of Jesus to children and families with a vision of raising generations of disciples who will walk with the Lord and serve Him throughout their lives. Campos De Sueños
A major part of our time will be spent serving through the ongoing ministries of Campos de Sueños. Their work combines nutrition, education, discipleship, vocational training, carpentry, and sewing to care for practical needs while intentionally pointing children and families toward Christ. Campos De Sueños Our team will help with feeding children, children’s ministry, outreach, and other projects that strengthen and move the ministry forward.
One of the most meaningful parts of this project is getting outside the ministry facility and visiting families in their homes. These visits give us opportunities to listen to people’s stories, learn about their needs, encourage and pray with families, build relationships, and share the hope of the Gospel. Rather than simply coming in to complete projects, we want to help Campos de Sueños deepen relationships with families they will continue serving long after our team leaves.
Campos de Sueños desires for children to experience God’s love and compassion in tangible ways, including meals, education, benevolence, biblical teaching, and discipleship. Their goal goes beyond meeting immediate needs. They want children to know Jesus, grow in their relationship with Him, learn to serve others, and eventually become leaders who reach the next generation. They also intentionally look for opportunities to share Christ with the children’s parents and families. Campos De Sueños
This project is highly relational, hands-on, and Gospel-centered. You’ll serve children, enter homes, build friendships, experience Guatemalan culture, encourage local leaders, and help an established ministry continue reaching its community. It’s an opportunity to see how meeting physical needs and making disciples can work together as we come alongside Campos de Sueños to help bring the love and hope of Jesus to children and families in Guatemala.

Join us in Panama as we partner with Mobile Missions Network, Cru Panama, La Comunidad Bible Church, and local Panamanian pastors to take the Gospel into communities where God is already raising up leaders and growing His church.
A significant part of this project will focus on serving among the Ngäbe-Buglé people in the mountainous regions of Panama. Some communities are remote, and people may travel long distances for school, church, and other basic needs. Local pastors are faithfully sharing Christ, making disciples, developing leaders, and planting churches throughout the region. Our goal is to come alongside them and help move that work forward.
Ministry opportunities may include home visits, personal Gospel conversations, children’s ministry, school outreach, community events, showing the JESUS Film, prayer, and other creative evangelism opportunities. Teams will spend time with people where they live, build relationships, clearly share the Gospel, and help local churches connect with individuals and families who can continue being discipled after our team leaves.
Past projects have seen hundreds of people gather to hear the Gospel, including large community showings of the JESUS Film. But the goal is bigger than what can happen during one week. We want to support local pastors who are there year-round, equip leaders, strengthen churches, and help establish Gospel work that continues multiplying long after we return home.
This project will be relational, evangelistic, cross-cultural, and Gospel-centered. You’ll experience the beauty and culture of Panama while serving alongside incredible local believers who are passionate about reaching their own people.
Come ready to serve, learn, share your faith, and see firsthand how God can use local churches and mission teams working together to share the Gospel, make disciples, develop leaders, and help plant churches throughout Panama.

Reaching the Heart of Europe’s Oldest Nation
Portugal, one of Europe’s oldest nations, is a land of stunning coastlines, historic cities, and a rich cultural heritage. Yet behind its beauty lies a deep spiritual need. Evangelical believers make up less than half of one percent of the population, and in many areas Christians are almost invisible. Evangelical churches are few, small, and often isolated—the average congregation has fewer than 50 people.
GoodNews Journey partners with our longtime friend and missionary pastor, Fernando Silva, who faithfully leads gospel work across northern Portugal. Fernando pastors churches and mobilizes mission teams to serve in cities like Vila Real, Chaves, and Bragança, where the presence of the gospel is minimal. In one metro area of 200,000 people, his church is the only Baptist congregation.
On this mission trip, your team will join Fernando and his church to bring light into spiritual darkness. You’ll connect with families in low-income apartment communities through social activities, community events, and personal evangelism. You’ll encourage local believers who often feel isolated and help expand gospel influence in cities where the name of Jesus is rarely heard.
A mission trip to Portugal combines the beauty of Europe with the urgency of the Great Commission. As you serve, you’ll not only experience a vibrant culture—you’ll be part of planting seeds of eternal hope in one of Europe’s most overlooked mission fields.

To the Ends of the Earth
Ready to take the greatest spiritual adventure of your life?
Join us as we head into the remote, rugged, and spiritually hungry part of Cambodia’s northeastern frontier, home to hill-tribe communities that have lived for over a thousand years. Many here have never heard the name of Jesus, and even fewer have been discipled in the truth of the gospel. Poverty is deep, access is difficult, and life expectancy is low — but the opportunity for kingdom impact is massive.
This is not your average mission trip. It’s a calling to go where few are willing to go. You’ll travel from the capital city to distant villages where we’ll partner with courageous local believers who are planting the gospel in unreached soil.
As part of the team, you’ll help meet physical and spiritual needs in powerful ways like:
🛠️ Build latrines and provide clean water
🎨 Lead children’s ministry with games, stories, crafts, and love
🙏 Pray over the sick, share your testimony, and encourage local believers
🧡 Use your skills — whether in sports, music, construction, healthcare, or simply showing up with a servant’s heart
You’ll also take part in one of the most beautiful moments of missions: watching the Cambodian church rise with boldness, fueled by your partnership. Our presence strengthens their mission. Our prayers embolden their steps. And as we go together, we get a front-row seat to the gospel transforming lives.
This is a trip for anyone who says, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.” It’s for those ready to give up comfort, travel far, and experience the joy of God using you in places most people never go.
Don’t miss this chance. God is already moving in Cambodia. Will you go with us?

Can individual participants (without a group) register?
Yes! Individuals or small groups are welcome to JOIN a Team that fits both their interests and the needs of the mission project.
How does an individual officially join a group?
In the JOIN a Team section, find the project that fits you best and click “Apply” to begin the application process.
What is a Certified Sending Partner?
Certified Sending Partners invite participants from other churches to join their mission trips. This provides peace of mind for churches and families, knowing that the host leadership ensures a safe and effective mission trip. The Certified Sending Partners’ leadership approves all participants for their trips.
What are the requirements for a church to become a Certified Sending Partner?
– Partner with missionaries, church planters, or ministry partners who adhere to evangelical Christian doctrine.
– Aim for long-term relationships with field personnel.
– Run background checks on participants 18+.
– Require Safe and Secure child safety training for leaders.

One church can achieve a lot, but multiple churches partnering together can achieve much more. The New Testament shows churches working together for larger goals in Christ’s cause.

Certified Sending Partners exemplify loving the bride of Christ, helping other churches, and increasing the potential for new ministry partners.

Who can go?
GoodNews Journey offers mission trips for youth, college students, families, and adults, including all-men and all-women trips. Every participant is vetted and approved by the trip coordinator through an application.
Will a deposit be required for a participant to officially be accepted on a project?
Yes. It will be required to be paid at the end of the trip application. This deposit is applied to the trip cost if the applicant is accepted and refunded if denied. The deposit is typically non-refundable once accepted.
How will the participants make payment for their trip?
GoodNews Journey partners with Mobile Missions Network for registration through their Managed Missions system. Payment and fundraising can be done through that system. Payments can be made via Credit Card, ACH bank transfer from the applicant’s secure profile or by check. For mailing address and instructions email brian@goodnewsjourney.org.
How safe are the projects?
Projects are in safe locations, monitored by GoodNews Journey, the adopting church, and local ministry leaders. All leaders and team members receive training. Participants are covered by travel insurance and must complete applications, provide references, and undergo vetting. Minors are always supervised with an appropriate adult-to-student ratio.
Our church/organization has a connection with a Missionary, Church Planter, or Ministry Partner. Can we use this pathway for a trip?
Yes! We’d be glad to consider bringing your church and missions partner into the GoodNews Journey missions network. Fill out an Interest Form at the bottom of one of the project descriptions to get started. Missionaries, Church Planters, and Ministry Partners must adhere to the doctrines of evangelical Christianity.
