Preparing for your mission flight is very exciting, and you will need to make sure that you have taken every step very carefully to have a successful mission flight experience. Overseas missions will need some intricate planning to make sure all the details are covered. You’ll want to think about several things. First of all, preparing your heart is the most important step. Prayerful concern and pursuit of the Lord are among the most important and vital components of any missionary journey.

God’s Word shares how we can be prepared with God’s full armor. Ephesians chapter 6 summarizes the full armor we need to stand strong for the Lord! Prayer is a vital step and seeking the Lord in your plans. You will want to be praying and waiting for the Lord. A heart sensitive to the Lord and open to going and preaching the gospel to every creature is the first step in preparing for your missions journey.

Practically speaking, there are some other steps to consider when getting ready to go on an international missions trip. You will want to make sure that you have a mission pastor or mission travel specialist who assists you in your planning process.

Many people do not realize that mission and humanitarian flights are available to them if they are on an important trip. You can book your flight up to 11 months in advance with little or no cash in most cases to allow you to collect support while you reserve your flights. This is a great tool that not many people realize is available to them if they are traveling for missionary or humanitarian purposes.

Adoptive travel is also an eligible field for humanitarian air travel. Many adoptive families can take advantage of humanitarian tickets when traveling to visit and choose their children from another country. This can be a huge boon when adopting internationally to have a travel agency work out all the details of the adoption travel, putting the mind of the adoptive parent at ease.

Reliable mission travel companies with major airlines can be relied upon to provide you with a mission ticket for your mission trip. A travel professional who specifically prays for your trip is very important. You’ll want to have someone available to you through every step of the process from booking flights to baggage and layover questions.

safe travels,
