Testimonials

On a missions trip to NY I met a young lady who works with XMA. I’ve continued to be amazed at her dedication and continued work with the lost around the world. I’ve heard thru her amazing stories of God’s work. Awesome non profit!

This is an “on the ground” organization that reaches and touches lives all over the world. Actions of XMA personally reach many people that would otherwise be unreached. The Outreach of this organization goes beyond electricity and common things that we take for granted each day, to share love and hope to others. I have personally been a part of these missions as well as my children. It has been life changing for me and my family.

I had the experience of going on a mission trip to Nicaragua this year, which was my first trip with XMA! It was an awesome experience with seeing not only God at work but also XMA takes care of all your needs regarding interpreters, meals, and accommodations. I can’t wait to go on my next trip!

FAQs

Is my donation tax-deductable?

I want to join an XMA trip. Where do I start?

What do the expenses cover?

Your XMA trip cost is all-inclusive. It includes airfare, lodging, food, ground transportation, interpreters, offerings to partner ministries, and more. It also includes many things that most others haven’t thought about or don’t mention such as travel medical & emergency evacuation insurance and satellite or other emergency communication equipment. Plus all of our staff team leaders are Wilderness First Aid & CPR certified and have international travel safety & security training.

Where will I be staying?

Depending on the team and area you will be serving, your facilities may be our own mission house, a hotel room or an apartment provided by a local partner. All of these facilities will have showers, toilets and running water. Some teams travel farther out to villages and camp overnight using hammocks and camping pads. On those trips there isn’t always running water and flushing toilets available.

Are there certain clothing requirements?

How safe is it to travel?

Do I need any vaccinations to travel to the country?
