'26 Mission Trip
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Missions Adventure
July 18 - August 3, 2025
$3,975
Nestled in the mountains of northern Thailand, the city of Chiang Mai is quickly developing into an influential voice to the rest of the country, and very open to the gospel. We have partnered with a great missionaries/ministry and a gospel-centered church seeking to continue building a worshipping, gospel community—one that impacts people’s everyday lives through relationships, home-to-home prayer and ministry, worship, red-light district outreaches, church ministry, children's ministry, school and orphanages and more. The gospel can transform lives and through the many opportunities offered to share the gospel, we guarantee that lives will be changed and an eternal impact will be made.
Our village trip to northern Thailand is home to a number of ethnic minority groups known broadly as "the hill tribes," each of which maintains its own culture, language and dress. Centuries-old cycles of poverty have left thousands of hill tribe children without parents, without education, and without hope...we plan on bringing the hope of Christ to the the hill tribes of Thailand.
Our free days will consist of visiting the Patara Elephant Farm (or Mountain Elephant Sanctuary) where we will spend a once-in-a-lifetime day as an "Elephant owner for a day." Other adventures during our free days will consist of shopping at the Chiang Mai gate market, experiencing all the amazing food at the night bazaar, attending a cultural dinner and traditional Thai dance, and be part of an unbelievable river day.
Apply early and be a part of a life-changing time in Thailand, summer of 2025!

Mission Trip Details
Wide Awake Missions plans trips around you. In order to minister to a variety of different cultures, we need your talents, spiritual gifts, and individuality to reach every Tribe, Tongue, and Nation. We create experiences that will tap into the many aspects of your walk with the Lord.
EVERY WAM TRIP FOCUSES ON THREE THINGS:
* A balance between personal spiritual growth, unique ministry, and, of course, Adventure.
* Personal and team development through daily inspired devotionals, personal quiet times, group discussions, ministry, worship and prayer.
*Ministry outreaches allowing you to develop and/or realize your God-given gifts and talents, while ministering and sharing your faith in the harvest field.
We have specialized trips that will allow God to open your eyes to a lost and hurting world. Through totally unique outreach opportunities, you will have the chance to share your testimony and to share the love of Christ and His message of salvation.
You may have the opportunity to share your faith through one of many outreach tools: drama evangelism, work projects, loving on children in orphanages, village trips to outlying poorer areas, local church services, food distribution, and much more. You will be part of a team with people from all over America as you minister and intentionally share the love of Jesus to everyone you meet.
Wide Awake Missions, a nonprofit Christian mission organization, specializes in planning adventurous, short-term mission trips for teens, college students, adults, and churches. We custom-design special trips to provide the best experience possible for participants. Because of our experience in leadership overseas, our passion for bringing salvation to the lost, and our commitment to you and your experience, a trip with Wide Awake Missions may be your next “fearless pursuit.”
Wide Awake Missions handles ALL the details of all in country logistics. Safety is paramount, and we will do everything in our power to achieve it.
The Process
After you have applied and been accepted, which takes about one week, you will receive an acceptance letter and preliminary information on obtaining a passport, visa (if needed), training and domestic flight information, specific trip details, what to pack (and not), and other important details about the trip. You will also receive a payment schedule from Wide Awake Missions to help with the fundraising/payment process. Checks or money orders should be written to Wide Awake Missions, Inc. For convenience, we also (Securely) take credit cards.
Training and Gathering
Each trip typically begins and ends in Miami, Florida, (TBD) and training starts on the very first evening of the trip.
Meals
Meals will be provided by lodging where we stay, churches, and restaurants. For off-site ministry days, we will pack lunches to go. Unfortunately, we cannot arrange meals for vegetarian and special diets, but we will try!
Transportation
Mostly Private, chartered transportation will be primarily used. Public transportation will be utilized when specifically needed.
Contact
As time draws closer to the trip, we will provide emergency contact information, including phone, website info., and emails, for our accommodations, churches, and main country contact. You are welcome to bring a cell phone and may call home. In addition, our leadership team will have a cell phone with them at all times.
Information Forms and Medical
There are a few insurance and release/travel forms that require a parent's signature. These need to be finalized before the trip deadline. All trip participants are advised to follow the recommended travel immunizations as stated on the Health Form and must provide us with medical insurance and physician information.
*If you are a Pastor or Youth Pastor and would like a special trip designed with your flavor of ministry and involvement and country of choice, let us do all the heavy lifting. This will allow you the time and energy to share your mission trip vision to your church or youth group without getting bogged down by all the logistics.
