In general there are two types of mission trips differed by duration: short-term and long term mission trips. In addition to that there is also one more factor, and that is wheatear or not it is a local trip or a trip abroad.

My first mission trip was for an organization called 1Nation1Day through my church, Milestone, back home in 2013. The goal was to save the nation of Honduras in one day and continue to pour out love and support to the Hondurans so that they may be disciples for a lifetime.
