Vision Trips

What to Expect

A Vision Trip offers you a unique opportunity to see how God is at work through church planting in one of North America's least-reached regions.

More than simply a visit, a Vision Trip is an invitation to experience the mission, understand the need, and explore how you can participate in advancing the gospel throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

During your visit, you can expect the following:

Meet the Team

You will spend time with our team and church planters, hear their stories, and get to know what ministry is like on a personal level.

See the Mission

You will visit both current and future church planting sites, learn about the unique cultural context that shapes our approach to ministry, and get a firsthand look at the ministry need here.

A Vision Trip will help you prayerfully consider how your church or ministry can partner with us.

Hear the Story

You will hear the story of how God changed the direction of Calvary Baptist, why Mile One Mission was started, and the vision we have for the next generation.

Catch the Vision

You will understand the spiritual darkness here as you hear the stories and prayer walk the city with us. Lord willing, you will bring home a passion for church planting either here with us or with your home church.

Meet the Team

Relationships are very important to us, we want you to partner with real people, to pray for real people, so over the course of your vision trip you will meet the real people that make up our team.

Arrive

When you arrive, we pick you up in our van, get you settled in your AirBnB or hotel, and get supper to you. 

Team Introduction

The next day we will introduce you to the team, and you will hear each of our stories.

Lunch Break

If possible we would like to have lunch with you in our offices.

Dinner Fellowship

We aim to end each day with a cultural experience at one of our favourite local restaurants.

Hear the Story

After meeting the team, our vision trip focuses on telling you our story. This includes the personal stories of each team member, the founding of Mile One Mission, and the spiritual need of our province.

Personal Stories

Over the course of your trip, we hope that you will have heard each personal story of our team, so that you can leave knowing each of us.

Steve's Story

Steve will share his personal story with you, how he grew up here, ran from the Lord, was called into ministry, and ultimately called back home to pastor Calvary Baptist Church.

The Mile One Story

Steve’s main talk will center on how Mile One Mission came to be, the current state of the ministry, and the vision we are aiming towards.

The Newfoundland Need

We hope to give you an overview of the history of our province. We want you to understand the cultural and spiritual implications that lead to the equally large rejection of organized religion and cultural religiosity. 

The Church Plant's

While seeing the church plants, we want to tell you their stories. You will hear from the planters as they explain their ministries and the unique blessings and struggles that come with them.

See the Mission

Next, we want for you to see the mission, to see the work that is being done. So throughout your vision trip, you will see and experience different aspects of our city, our church plants, and our future.

See Our City

During your vision trip you will get a surrounding area tour to learn about the historical significance and background of our culture and how institutional religion dominated Newfoundland & Labrador for centuries

See the Plants

Spend time with our church planters in their neighbourhoods to hear about their story and God’s remarkable work of calling them into ministry.

Enjoy our City

See the Future

We will take you to some of the future locations where we hope to plant.

Catch the Vision

Lastly, we hope that you will catch the vision of Mile One Mission. We want you to go home, not only ready to support what God is doing here, but also to see God do a similar work back home in your city.

Pray Over the City

As you visit sites, you will have great opportunity to pray over the different areas of the city. Please petition God on our behalf.

Pray Over the Planters

You will spend ample time with each of our planters. We ask that you will boldly ask how you can pray for them, and please over the course of your trip, pray often.

Pray with the Team

One of our favorite things is the opportunity we get to pray together with each vision trip that comes. 

Pray for Your Church

We want to pray for you while you’re here. We will pray that God would encourage you through this trip, use your ministry to impact your city as you go home, and that your church would catch the vision of what God is doing here and be stirred up to love and good works by it.

Catch & Share

Lastly, as you head home, we ask that you would share what you have just been a part of—tell your church, tell your friends, tell other pastors in your area. You will leave here equipped to tell what God is doing here in Newfoundland & Labrador.

How It Works?

  • Send Shane, our partnership coordinator, an email. He will get the process started right away.

  • Share the potential trip with your elders and church leaders. We encourage you to invite some other local pastors along as well!

  • We will confirm everything you need: detailed schedules, packing list recommendations, housing, transportation, meals, additional options to consider, and more.

  • Once you have confirmation of your trip, your team that is committed to come, now it’s time to book your flights. Don’t worry about airport transportation upon arrival, we’ve got you covered.

  • Once you get on that plane, your team is on an incredible journey to see what God is doing on the farthest northeastern place in North America!
