A New Resource from Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Missions!


Dear Fellow Kingdom-Builder,

We invite you to check out our new resource for missionaries and missions sending organizations... RateMyMissionTrip.com!  This is the first and only mission trip review website of its kind!

This new site is designed to be the go-to ratings hub for anyone seeking honest and reliable reviews about mission trips from the short-term missionaries point of view.  

That right, why bother to worry about what the in-country missionary hosts need, or even think!  After all aren’t most short-term mission trips about you and what God can do for you and your church?

It’s a known fact that the short-term mission industry is growing by leaps and bounds as the economy improves and people desire extreme faith experiences.  So why leave this important step in your faith journey to chance? 

At RateMyMissionTrip.com you can read reviews from people just like you and then make your decision as to whether or not you want to partner with a particular host missionary or group.

Think of it as Rate My Professor, but from a missions perspective.

Hear what some of the reviewers have had to say about recent trips.

I was able to share with poor people and my agency didn’t make me stay overnight with them.  One day I even got to eat a meal with them.  But the food was awful.  Other than that, I was blessed!
Gina J., First Church of Cabezon, CA


My mission ministry was in the toilet until I found RateMyMissionTrip.com. The reviews really helped me decide where the cheapest mission trips could be found without ever picking up a telephone.
Pastor Rich T., Kohler Baptist Church, Homeville TN

I am glad I got this chance to serve in Uganda.  I was told that poor people need us rich people so they know what to aspire to.  I was glad to be an example of what God wants poor people to look up to.
Susan R., Church of the Willows, Bullhead City, AZ 

I felt everything went well, I would go back.
Rick J., Stone City Church, WV


I did not get sick from the water nor did any of our kids.  Also, with this ministry, I saved tons of time preparing.  Praise Jesus!
Pastor Dave T., Church of Our God, Beulah, GA


See what we mean?  

Hard hitting reviews designed to help you, the short-term missionary or the short-term leader find a good mission where your spritual needs will be met.

VBS Teams from Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Missions...


Have you ever wondered why no short-term mission teams from other countries come to America to do mission?  Well, so did Jesus is the Answer Short-term Mission and now your church can request a short-term mission team that will do for your church what American teams have done for churches around the globe for years.

That’s right!  We have short-term VBS teams waiting to come to your church and put on a Vacation Bible School for the children of your church and area.

Give people from such faraway places like China, India and Brazil a chance to serve God at your church.

Here’s how it works...

Our teams arrive on Sunday and depart the following Saturday.  You provide housing, food and lots of kids, and the teams will do the rest.  All you have to do is sit back and see how many children around your church accept the invitation to join the Kingdom.


None of our teams speak English, but that is not a problem.  Having learned from watching American teams for years, these teams are well trained and experienced.  And every team has one person who will translate the main message into English so your kids will be sure to understand.

Besides, the Holy Spirit makes the connection anyway, so even if no one in your VBS can understand a word the teams are saying, God will still be there and that’s what’s important.

*******************************************************


We've used Jesus is the Answer a number of times... not only do they make mission easy, they help us feel good about our ministry.  Trust me, if seeing kids raise their hands and feeling good about your ministry is important to you, get a team from Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Mission to come to your church... 

Pastor Dave T., Smith Georgia



*******************************************************

This is your chance to share the American culture with a small team of 15 - 20 short-term missionaries from abroad.

Know that in addition to the great Bible lessons these teams will teach, they will bring lots of cool crafts from The Alaskan Trading Company and will come ready to play American Football with everyone from your church.

Also included in this incredible package is cutting edge kids music kids with titles like Jesus Loves Me, Deep and Wide, & I Am a C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N!

With such quality music, crafts, story times and more, your church will be sure to draw a crowd for that all important invitation time at the end of the week.

What are you waiting for?

나는 선교사 목사입니다. 내가 당신을 도와 당신의 교회에 팀을 가지고 할 수 있습니까?  우리는 노래를 노래 예수에 대한 이야기를하고 필요한 건 뭐든지 할 것입니다. 그리고 우리는 당신의 맛있는 음식을 모두 먹고 불평하지 않습니다!

Pastor Tommy, 성경의 장로 교회, 서울, 한국

***************************************************



Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to serve missionaries from abroad while they are in your church!  You will be blessed as they tell their stories at the end of week of how God provided for all of their expenses, used them to share Jesus with the children of your church and changed their lives.

More From Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Missions

Fresh off our success with quick easy short-term mission adventures, Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Missions has just announced a new venture sure to excite millions of faithful believers looking to make an impact in the world today.


Why should you hide what you do for the Kingdom under a rock?  Doesn't the word tell us to "let our light shine before man?"


For you and many others just like you, this is the question they have been asking... How can I do good for Jesus, and be famous for doing it?  


Ask no more!


Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Mission is now offering a chance not only to change the world at a great price, we are going to film it and make you the star of your very own reality TV Series!


That's right.  For a small add on fee to our regular short-term mission trip, you and your friends will not only be blessed by getting to help some poor impoverished people understand true faith like we do, you'll be able to watch yourself transform their life when you get home!


***************************************************


 I've been serving with Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Missions for years and have always felt like something was missing after one of my trips.  Now I know what it was.  No one was able to see me doing good stuff.  Now all of my friends can look at me and want to serve and be famous just like I am!


Molly W., Second Methodist Church, Helmutville, Iowa


***************************************************


Director Sam Burnett said “This is a different twist on a kind of short-term mission trip evangelicals have done for a long time.”  “It turns short-term mission into an entertainment model, where you can feel good watching it, people feel good doing it and you and your friends can get exposure.” 



"Look" he said, "young people today want to be on television, they want to be famous.  What better way for that to happen than to marry their world changing hope with television and entertainment?"


When questioned about the potential to exploit poor people for the financial gain of Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Missions or the television network, Burnett scoffed.  "These poor people want to be on television too and if it takes a reality show like this, so be it.  The bottom line here is that we are doing good.  Are we gonna make some money on this? Absolutely, but we will be reinvesting a large percentage of our profits into helping even more people achieve their goals to do good and be famous."


So what are you waiting for?  Add this option to one of our regular trips for the small amount of $49.00 and for less than two C-notes, not only will you be helping some poor person understand Jesus like you, you'll be on your way to stardom.


But wait there's more... if you call today, we will give everyone in your group their very own DVD of the show that was filmed on their mission trip signed with thanks from the poor person you helped.


Don't be left behind!  Operators are standing by now.  


Call us immediately at (634)723-SAVE to book your trip with Jesus is the Answer Short-Term Missions and be sure to tell us you want the reality show upgrade and free DVD!

Nothing like this could be further from the truth...
Think we're Kidding?
