South Texas Mission Trip
Mission Trip to Edinburg, Texas
Lakeway Church is sending a team of volunteers to Edinburg, Texas, for a short-term mission trip from November 12 to 15 to support our missionaries at Rio Grande Bible Institute (RGBI). Our team will have a two-fold purpose: to assist with needed projects on campus and to provide encouragement to students through conversations, prayer, and relationships. We will make ourselves available to the students to practice English, answer questions about life as a missionary, and host a fun ice cream social to bless them, spending time in prayer with them before they leave to serve God.
This trip is best for…
– 12-24 adults who love to serve others.
– ALL, but great for a first-time mission experience.

The Rio Grande Bible Institute (RGBI) is a Christian Bible Institute (Seminary) in Edinburg, TX. The Institute serves students from Mexico, Central America, and South America., It also provides Spanish language training for non-Spanish-speaking North Americans who will serve as missionaries in Spanish-speaking areas of the world. All classes at RGBI are in Spanish. They have a 50-acre campus with 220 students – half in person and half online. RGBI also has four radio stations with signals that reach over 3 million people in two countries.
Sacrificial outreach is one of the marks of Lakeway church. We believe every follower of Jesus is called to love and serve others in Jesus’ name. Stepping out in faith to serve others will have a transformational impact on your life. Not only will we be helping families in Edinburg, but we will be deepening relationships with each other.
