2026 EPEK - Mixed Leader's Trip 2

Central Asia -October 2026.

Join Southeast Christian Church and EPEK on a powerful mission trip to Southeast Asia in 2026, where you’ll partner with local believers to share the love of Christ in both practical and deeply relational ways. This team of up to 10 adults (ages 18 and over) will spend 5–7 days in-country, with up to 4 days of additional travel, serving through a variety of impactful ministries. From teaching in home churches and leading Bible studies to participating in weekend worship services, you’ll walk alongside the local church in encouraging and equipping believers. The team will also help distribute food packages to refugee families, participate in prayer walks, and offer trauma education where needed. Opportunities to connect with children and youth through English and computer lessons will allow you to build lasting friendships and plant seeds of hope. You may even witness the joy of baptism ceremonies as lives are transformed. This trip offers a diverse, meaningful experience, and a more detailed schedule will take shape as we approach 2026.
