Adventure with a Purpose

To share the love of Christ with people in remote places on exciting short term mission trips.

OUR MISSION

XMA seeks to join individuals, groups, and churches together for one mission - to share the love of Jesus to unreached people in remote areas. Our team consists of missionaries, trip leaders, and support personnel who recruit, equip, and train volunteers to be on mission.

XMA at a glimpse

Serving on 8-12 day mission trips, our volunteers travel to unreached people to share the Gospel. Often we utilize needs based ministry such as assisting in medical and dental treatments, providing clean water, construction, education, and other basic needs to those we encounter to open a door for the message.

God has given us a desire and a purpose to use our gifts and skills - evangelism, medical, teaching, prayer, listening, and caring - to further His kingdom!

Where we go

South America

Tourists and locals flock to one of the many restaurants in the Roman Ghetto district. This small neighborhood is delimited by the Tiber River on one side and by Venice Square on the other. While steeped in cultural and religious history, today, this area of Rome, Italy, is filled with quaint restaurants and shops in the old buildings. IMB Photo

Europe

Central America

For over 15 years and with over 250 teams we have taken the Gospel to make an impact for the kingdom in remote areas. Our teams work with national partners to assist with travel, translation, and to build an ongoing relationship for the purposes of ministry. XMA teams seek to encourage prior church plants, engage in new church planting activities, and evangelize the lost along the way.

Honduras

God continues to expand the work in and around San Jose de Pane, Honduras. Teams traveling to this area use Pane as a home base to expand into the surrounding 14 mountain villages. Through the village schools, we are able to share Bible stories, crafts, songs, and movies with the children, which will often open to door for us to share the Gospel one on one. Our teams conduct medical clinics, dental clinics, Revital-eyes vision clinics, and men's and women's disciple conferences. There are also various construction projects goin on at different times during the year. Our ultimate goal is to make disciples and plant self-sustaining, reproducing churches in each of these villages so that they can then go out and reach their fellow Hondurans.

Nicaragua

The main focus in Nicaragua is finding remote, hard-to-reach areas in need of the Gospel. Terry and Denise Parks have led over 250 teams to make an impact there, and work with national partners to assist with travel and translation. XMA teams seek to encourage prior church plants, engage in new church planting activities, and evangelize the lost along the way.

Central & Southeast Asia

Central & Southeast Asia

In American culture, the countries of Central and Southeast Asia are often considered to be unsafe and insecure. However, when Jesus said to take the Gospel to all nations, we believe he meant all so we at XMA have chosen to build partnerships throughout Central and Southeast Asia to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in these heavily restricted areas. Work in this area requires a great deal of preparation and security, and that is why we have experienced trip leaders and national partners to help interested parties navigate ministering in these countries where there is extensive need for gospel witness.

Africa

In a country where 98% of the population has never heard the gospel, we work within an English Language Center to build relationships as a way for the Gospel to go forward in this hard to reach area. The center allows us to connect with a variety of locals and share with them the good news.

North Africa

A language and cultural center helps build bridges with locals and provides opportunities to share the Gospel. 98% of the population have never heard the Truth.

Zimbabwe

Focusing on evangelizing new believers and planting churches, XMA partners with local pastors in Zimbabwe to minister to those in need through Humanitarian Aid and the Jesus Film Project. Todd Flowers uses his extensive medical experience to help those in need, which opens doors for presenting the Gospel.

Middle East

What we do

CONNECT

Personally connecting with the people living in unreached areas sets the tone for being able to effectively share the Gospel of Christ.

SERVE

Serving the communities we visit allows us to meet the needs of the local people and build long-lasting relationships with them.

ENCOURAGE

We encourage communities to continue our work in building up local organizations and ministries, much like Paul did with the early church.

Testimonials

I traveled with XMA to Honduras, and it was such an amazing trip. The staff was so wonderful, the mission was great, and it really changed my life in a big way getting to be a part of an XMA trip. Very professional, very kind, very spirit-led, very selfless, and, like the name says, adventurous.

Extreme Missionary Adventures is a great organization for those wanting to answer God's call to go! They take care of every detail of the trip so that all you have to do is show up and focus on the work that God has planned! Take a trip with them, you won't regret it!!! I am already looking forward to two more possible trips that God has laid on my heart!

The most selfless people I’ve ever known is the best way to describe the devoted people working on behalf of XMA. They sacrifice their own lifestyles to help with the needs of others, going places most people would never consider going. I couldn’t be more proud to donate to such an amazing organization.

The roots of XMA go back to the early 1990’s…

...when the Mack Anthony family and their pastor, Tom Smith, from Calcasieu, LA, began helping church planters build church buildings in Central America. Terry Parks, Randy Pierce, and Randy White all began serving as volunteers with them in 1997.

Over the next few years God called each of these men to full time missionary service with the common vision to share the Gospel with unreached people in remote, hard-to-reach places. Through their calling God birthed Extreme Missionary Adventures (XMA) with the vision to help American Christians reach the world for Christ through one week volunteer mission trips.

Over the years God has continued to call others into His ministry at XMA adding missionaries, ministries, and ministry locations around the world.

Throughout more than 25 years of mission, ministry, and growth XMA’s passion has remained the same…to know Christ and make him known…especially among those with little to no access to the Gospel. That is the purpose of our adventure!

And now an exciting new adventure with a purpose awaits you…

Looking Back & Moving Forward

Posted in The Adventurer Online, The Adventurer Online 2022

Looking Back & Moving Forward Looking Back As the Lord opened the doors for us to travel and begin taking short-term teams again, He blessed us to return to some of our well-known areas, but we have also had the opportunity to work in some places we haven’t been to before! This year we’ve sent teams to Poland, Ukraine, the Middle…
