Step Into the Story: 2026 Global Lift Collective Vision Trips

Step Into the Story: 2026 Global Lift Collective Vision Trips

Each year, Global Lift Collective (GLC) invites our partners, church leaders, and friends to step beyond the conference rooms and into the field—to see firsthand how God is working through the local church to transform communities.

These trips aren’t simply visits; they’re opportunities to witness the heart of GLC’s mission in motion. Together, we’ll meet local leaders, hear stories of change, and see how churches are bringing restoration and hope to their communities.

In 2026, we’re hosting two unique experiences in each of our focus areas—one in Central America and one in Malawi—and we’d love for you to join us.

🌎 Central America Vision Trip

Dates: Tuesday, February 24 – Saturday, February 28, 2026
Locations: El Salvador and Guatemala
Arrival/Departure:

  • Fly into San Salvador, El Salvador (SAL) by 2:00 p.m. on February 24

  • Fly out of Guatemala City, Guatemala (GUA) the morning of February 28
    Cost: $750 (includes all in-country expenses; airfare not included)

This trip will immerse participants in the vibrant, collaborative work happening through GLC’s Central America partners. You’ll connect with pastors and community leaders who are equipping churches to lift families out of poverty and inspire transformation across their regions.

Through site visits, shared meals, and conversations with local partners, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how collaboration between organizations like ENLACE, HOPE International, Tearfund, and Living Water International is empowering churches to meet both spiritual and practical needs.

Registration Deadline: December 15, 2025

🌍 Malawi Vision Trip

Dates: Tuesday, June 16 – Sunday, June 21, 2026

This journey offers a front-row seat to the powerful work happening through the local church in Malawi. Participants will visit communities where church leaders are addressing poverty, injustice, and food insecurity through innovative, sustainable programs.

You’ll meet GLC partners, Tearfund, HOPE International, and World Relief, who are empowering congregations to lead holistic change—equipping families with tools, training, and hope for lasting transformation. Each day will offer moments to listen, learn, and celebrate how the Church in Malawi is living out the gospel in both word and action.

Registration Deadline: April 1, 2026

Why Join a Vision Trip?

Vision trips are at the heart of how GLC connects global vision to local impact. They allow pastors, church leaders, and supporters to:

  • See firsthand how GLC’s church-to-church model is transforming lives.

  • Build deeper relationships and gain a clearer understanding of our approach to collaboration.

  • Gain a clearer sense of how their church or organization can engage in the mission.

  • Return home with stories, relationships, and a renewed vision for what’s possible when the global Church works together.

Be Part of the Collective Story

Every GLC partner plays a vital role in this shared mission—to see every church become a catalyst for transformation in its community. Whether you’re a pastor, missions leader, or simply curious about what God is doing through the global Church, we invite you to join us in 2026.

Together, we’re learning, growing, and celebrating the ways God’s people are lifting communities around the world.
