Trail Missions presents
A One-Time Opportunity to Change Lives — Including Your Own
40 college-age young adults. Fully sponsored. 1–3 months in the remote villages of Zambia spreading the Gospel, planting churches, and drilling wells.
After much prayer, the Lord placed it on the hearts of Trail Missions leaders and partners to fully sponsor 40 college-age young adults from across the U.S. for a summer of transformative ministry in Western Zambia.
Round-trip flights from Phoenix or another major U.S. airport to Livingstone, Zambia via South Africa.
Comfortable, self-contained chalets at our base — shared with three teammates. All meals covered.
Airport pickup, the six-hour journey to base through stunning African landscapes, and all in-country travel.
"We want people to come for 1–3 months to help us plant a church every week. The harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few."

Apply for Your Team →Fly from a major U.S. airport to South Africa, then a 2-hour flight to Livingstone, Zambia. Our staff meets you at the airport and drives you six hours through African landscapes, wildlife, and warm Zambian communities to our base.
Stay in comfortable, self-contained chalets shared with three teammates. This is your home, your rest, your community. Between village outreaches, you'll recharge here and prepare for the next mission.
Spend four days at a time camping under a massive shade tree at the edge of a village, sleeping in high-quality canvas tents. Walk through the sand village to village — sharing the Gospel, leading people to salvation, praying for the sick, ministering to the broken, and seeing captives set free.
Once your village outreach is complete, head to Livingstone for two days of unforgettable adventure — Victoria Falls (one of the 7 Natural Wonders), a safari game drive, and optional bungee jumping, zip-lining, lion walk, or white-water rafting. Then it's time to fly home, forever changed.

There are still tribes who have never heard the Gospel. Some worship the "god of the forest." Some mix witchcraft with religion. Many have never been told that Jesus is the only way to God.
Trail Missions exists to go to these people — the ones living far off the main road, forgotten by the rest of the world. And this summer, we're asking 40 young adults to join us.
This isn't a vacation. This is a calling.
Proclaim the message of Jesus to people hearing it for the very first time.
Walk alongside individuals as they make the decision to give their lives to Christ.
Minister healing and hope to communities with limited access to medical care.
Help establish Bible-believing churches that will last for generations.
Bring comfort and the love of Christ to those living in spiritual darkness.
Witness the power of God break chains and transform lives in Jesus' name.
If you feel God tugging you toward the nations... this is your moment. Airfare, housing, meals, transportation — all covered. All we need is you.
