What is the value of a C-Quest trip?

 

Not all short-term mission trips are equal. When you join C-Quest on a short-term mission or aid trip you become part of a team that makes an eternal impact on the world. Our trips provide a comfortable, safe, and life-changing experience for you, your family, and your friends.

​

How can I raise the funds necessary to come on a trip?

 

Fundraising is a critical part of a successful mission trip, not only for the funds raised for the ministry partners, but also to increase awareness for the ministry and to spread the Good News with friends and family

 

Each team may fundraise for all, or a portion of Trip and Project fees. We encourage you to work with your family, small group, or team to host small events, bake sales, pie auctions, bottle drives, sport events, or other events to raise needed funds. You may also choose to send a Missionary Support Letter to friends, family, and coworkers. Check out the Sample How to Write a C-Quest Mission Support Letter as a guide for your own letter.
