They want to build, serve, teach, or heal — but before they can go, they face the hardest part: raising the money.
Instead of building excitement, the process creates stress. Many teams fall short, cancel trips, or leave people behind who simply couldn't raise enough.
Picture this: A group of passionate students, hearts full of purpose, ready to serve communities across the globe. They've been planning for months, dreaming of the lives they'll change, the relationships they'll build, the impact they'll make.
But then reality hits. The fundraising begins.
What should be a unifying, exciting journey toward their mission becomes a nightmare of scattered efforts, missed deadlines, and mounting stress. Students who should be focusing on their studies and preparing their hearts for service instead find themselves consumed by the weight of raising thousands of dollars.
Parents watch helplessly as their children's dreams slip away, forced to choose between their child's calling and their family's financial stability. Team leaders burn out trying to coordinate dozens of individual fundraising efforts that never seem to add up to the total needed.
Even when teams do make it to their destination, the damage is already done. With reduced budgets, they can't afford to contribute to ground operations, purchase supplies for medical relief, or bless local workers who depend on their support. The communities they came to serve receive less help than they desperately need.
And the worst part? The mission itself gets lost in the chaos. Instead of building anticipation and community around the incredible work they're about to do, teams spend months stressed about money, relationships strain under financial pressure, and the joy of serving gets overshadowed by the burden of fundraising.
Chaotic planning leads to missed flights, overbooked hotels, and stressed team members before the trip even begins.
Families dig into savings, take on debt, or make difficult choices to ensure their child can participate.
Students sacrifice study time, sleep, and social life just to scrape together enough money for their mission.
Teams exhaust themselves with low-return activities that feel like begging extended family instead of building community.
Teams fall short, cancel trips, or leave people behind who simply couldn't raise enough. The mission becomes about money instead of impact.
