We are looking for athletically gifted, but more importantly, spiritually mature volunteers that can come alongside these children mentoring them and pointing them to Jesus. We will play a lot of basketball in the process!

Partnering With Malawi Wheels & Action International
Dates: 6/8/25 – 6/22/25
Cost: $3,400
Leader: Tim Longo & Kim Cooke
Difficulty rating 5: Extensive travel, food, cultural adaptation, rustic/modest

Malawi Wheels provides customized wheelchairs and health support to children with disabilities – because all people should have access to mobility, proper nutrition, and equal health care. They also plant and empower support groups so parents can find encouragement, get guidance, and gain access to rehabilitation, microloans, and educational resources. In Malawi, 7 out of 10 children with a disability do not attend school. Lack of mobility devices contributes to this. Action International is a global mission agency committed to sending multinational workers who treasure Jesus Christ and minister his Gospel in word and deed, primarily to the poor. Our team will deliver wheelchairs to children in need, help with support groups, plan and run a youth/children’s VBS, help with local outreaches, and offer ministry assistance as needed for Malawi Wheels and Action International.

Partnering with Orphanage Emmanuel
Dates: 6/25/25 – 7/3/25
Cost: $1,800
Leader: Jeff & Laura Taylor
Difficulty rating 3: International travel, weather, limited comforts of home

The Honduras GO Team is an opportunity for our Exit83 8th-12th graders to join the ministry of Orphanage Emmanuel in sharing the good news and love of Jesus with the 300+ children and staff. This ministry has been rescuing children, and making an impact for the Kingdom for the last 30+ years, and we are honored to get to be part of it. The details of this trip include ministry times with the children and Emmanuel staff through times of worship through music, Bible study, prayer, games, art and crafts, various work projects, and much more.

Our Exit83 team will also share in times of testimony as well as team building. Though the ministry and housing aspect of this trip are secure, each student should be prepared for long days, warm/humid temperatures (typically) and limited “comforts” of home. But we promise, it is SO worth it. Talk with Jeff Taylor, Tim Longo, Ryan Soule, Brennan Shaw, or NUMEROUS Exit83 students who have been part of this trip over the last 9 years.

Team members must be 14 years of age or older.

Partnering with Baan Immanuel
Dates: Mid October
Cost: $2,800
Leader: Mike King
Difficulty rating 5: Extensive travel, food, weather, cultural adaptation

Baan Immanuel is the ministry born out of the heart of an American missionary named Ron, who moved to Thailand after serving in the region during his time in the U.S. military. During his service abroad, Ron recognized the deep need in the area to help orphaned and endangered children, who are at risk for becoming victims of human trafficking. Ron and his team have since helped to create five orphanages and a school operated under Baan Immanuel Ministries that provide education, safety, and a loving and nurturing environment to learn about the Lord.

LBF plans to aid Ron with this short-term team by caring for orphans, providing gospel outreach to unreached villages, and helping encourage and train local disciples. The specifics on how we will meet these goals will depend on our teams unique giftings. This team is especially suited for medical missions, and those with medical skills and qualifications are encouraged to apply.
