Welcome to Global Mission!

by the Rev. Ted Gaiser

Interested in joining or leading a mission trip? You can do it, and we can help get you started!

The Diocese of Massachusetts sponsored a Mission Pilgrimage to Palestine/Israel in June 2009 and is planning a Healthcare Mission in November 2010. You are invited to join us in this opportunity to develop bonds with our brothers and sisters in Christ in the Diocese of Jerusalem.

We are also in the process of developing task forces on the specific needs of Haiti, Healthcare Mission, and Israel/Palestine. See the article below for more details.

Take a look at our calendar of upcoming mission trips and mission events. If you know of an open trip, give us the details and we’ll post them. Mission teams are headed to El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Africa, and the Middle East. There are also mission conferences hosted both in and outside of the US, such as the Global Episcopal Mission (GEM) Network 2010 World Mission Institute Conference in June.

If you are considering leading a mission trip but are not sure where to go, check out our regional mission information section Where To Go.

You might also consider perusing the various resources. There are some helpful mission tips, information on creating a budget, ideas for fundraising, sample forms, and more at our Leading A Trip page.
