Details and Itinerary

( Subject to change...A comprehensive itinerary will be sent 30 days prior to the trip.)

 

 

First off...this is a dream trip for the intrepid adventurer! It's an outreach adventure, a daring step to allow God to do something amazing in your life. This will definitely be MORE than your average mission trip...physically, emotionally, and spiritually. God has called us to be radical and live our lives dangerously in Him, vulnerable and shamelessly persistent in our pursuit to reach out to those who don't know this kind of love. We will dare to put others first, walk in compassion, and surround each other with the courage to step outside of our fears and yield to God as He guides every step of this mission trip. Sound like something you're looking for? 
 

After our flight on Fiji Air from Los Angeles to Suva, Fiji , we'll take a smaller plane to Taveuni, and then a 45-minute boat ride to our mission base. Wide Awake Missions is uniquely partnering with a non-denominational, faith-based ministry of health professionals practicing in a faith-based community, called not merely to heal the body by providing competent, compaasionate health care, but to meet the spiritual needs of those we serve as well. This mission trip will truly be an experience of a lifetime, and we are absolutely certain that you will enjoy every moment!

 

Come share your talents in the beauty and culture of the Fijian Islands. Whether you are considering some sort of a medical/dental career, nursing, teaching, ministry, or just a student or person with a heart to serve, give, grow, and dig deeper into God's plan for your life...there is a place for you with us in Fiji! 

 

Each day after breakfast, quiet times on the beach, some worship and a a short devotional, our team will spend the day assisting with medical/dental clinics; doing crafts in a school where we can share our faith and teach bible stories, doing skits, playing soccer/volleyball and ministering in the village school; and doing ministry/work outreaches in the local village, like building a chicken coup, gardening, painting, etc, and spending time sharing our faith home to home and praying for their needs. Our team will also be doing a kids program in the community where we'll sing, dance, and share many testimonies and bible stories involving the children in the program. 

 

Evenings are spent in the community of friends and staff—eating, singing, dancing, worshiping, playing games, and, of course, enjoying the beautiful warm ocean waters of Fiji right outside our door. Free days and weekends offer swimming (both pool and ocean), snorkeling, kayaking, climbing on the volcano, and trekking to the historic and sacred “Cannibal Cave.” We'll also enjoy excursions to nearby Rainbow Reef for snorkeling and hiking, beautiful waterfalls, the Kioa Polynesian Village, and an amazing "Taveuni" natural rock waterslide.

​

After our time in Fiji, all those that are choosing the "Extended Trip" will fly to New Zealand for 7 days worth of AMAZING adventures as well as time spent connecting with a local church for some youth/college ministry. By building friendships, praying and worshiping together, encouraging one another, and enjoying a beach day together, we'll allow God to use our team to share His love to the young people of Aukland. Most of our days will be filled with exciting, adventurous excursions like...a Canopy Tour and hot pools (the cedar hot tubs are set outside among native tree ferns) in Rotorua that will take us on a journey through lush native forest as we experience spectacular features such as; an impressive spiral staircase, cliff walk 50m above the forest floor, and an incredible tandem 400m zip-line. And,  for "Lord of the Rings fans," we'll explore the Shire's Hobbit Holes. Taking a boat ride through the Waitomo Glowworm Caves will be something you'll never forget! Piha is a scenic black-sand surf beach on the rugged coast west of Auckland that we'll visit for the day.

​

We're purposely launching this mission trip early as it's a pricier mission trip so you can make plans to join us and have plenty of time to fundraise and/or save. SO...pray about being 1 of the 25 participants—we guarantee you, this mission trip won't disappoint!
