Men's Fall South Texas Trip
Wednesday, September 04, 2024 - Saturday, September 07, 2024
In South Texas, we collaborate with our many mission partners in the Rio Grande Valley to bless the community. By joining one of our STX mission...
On a PCBC mission trip, you can expect to actively live out your faith. We establish partnerships with local organizations in the regions where our mission trips take place. These local partners undergo a thorough evaluation by our missions staff and PCBC leadership to ensure alignment with PCBC's beliefs. This guarantees that the work you engage in is genuinely necessary to aid their communities and is already proven to be effective and supported locally. This approach also promotes sustainability and prevents creating dependency.
When you embark on a mission trip, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in new cultures and ideas in ways that typical trips don't offer. Individuals participate in mission trips for various reasons, whether it's for personal growth, community impact, or to gain insights beyond their everyday experiences.
A short-term mission trip provides:
Personal development through the practical demonstration of faith
Fresh perspectives from collaborating with individuals of diverse cultures
Novel experiences and activities
A broadened worldview
Participating in a mission trip benefits not only the communities you assist, but it also has a profound impact on you. It will transform and mold you in ways that nothing else can. Your contributions, whether in physical tasks like construction or in showing love and compassion to people in different parts of the world, will result in tangible and meaningful changes to both individuals and communities.
In South Texas, we collaborate with our many mission partners in the Rio Grande Valley to bless the community. By joining one of our many mission trips, you will engage in activities such as building beds for families, hosting BSM nights for college students, serving at the local food bank, praying and worshiping with believers in the RGV, and playing games with the kids.
Our team works with our mission partners in Kenya to perform hundreds of eye surgeries to restore sight through corneal transplants, as well as hosting teaching conferences to prepare village pastors to lead their congregations.
We work alongside Potter's House in Guatemala to support families in the community and reach them with the gospel. Joining a mission trip to Guatemala allows you to build relationships through prayer walks in the villages, providing groceries for families, playing games with kids, building necessities for families, and much more.
Our Student Ministry will serve the community of Guatemala City alongside our long-term partner, Potter's House International. They'll help construct a home for a family involved in the ministry of Potter's House. Our students will also conduct a VBS for neighborhood children, go on prayer walks into homes, and deliver bunk beds to homes in the community.
Student Team led by Taylor Lowrey.
Cost: $2,000 – includes airfare and expenses in Guatemala. Meals on travel days to and from Guatemala are not included.

Potter's House International has asked that we send a team to Chiquimula to provide basic medical care to an impoverished community, as well as build a hygiene unit that will provide a washing station, shower, toilet, and cooking stove. This team will have the opportunity to go on prayer walks and visit homes in the community. Please pray about joining us on this venture to serve those in great need – medical professionals are needed as well.

We work with our local partners in Asia to provide support for pastors and enhance the local church. Joining a mission trip to Asia allows you to engage in activities such as a prayer walk through villages, worshiping with fellow believers, conducting training sessions for pastors, offering encouragement to believers, and assisting the local church in organizing outreach events using the Jesus Film.
Our global mission partners extend the ministry of PCBC. We support ministries across the world who plant churches, meet medical needs, mentor and train pastors, host camps for kids, and supply food and humanitarian supplies to those in need – all centered on our mission to lead all generations to love Jesus.
Potter’s House seeks to deliver holistic development programs through their community centers. From physical to spiritual to mental transformation, they want to empower the poor across Guatemala to make significant changes in their own lives and their communities.
Teams can go to serve in the following ways:
African Christian Outreach has several ministries that engage people with the gospel, equip them through discipleship, and empower them with life-on-life experiences.
Lighthouse for Christ exists to glorify God by healing physical and spiritual blindness in East Africa.
Our Kenya team performs hundreds of eye surgeries to restore sight through corneal transplants, as well as hosting teaching conferences to prepare village pastors to lead their congregations.
PCBC financially supports five local churches in strategic areas and sends two teams annually to conduct a Youth Camp and VBS.
