Adera facilitates group travel to Ethiopia so that teams see the impact our programs have on families and children and can participate in this world-changing work.
Why does Adera do Short Term Mission (STM) Trips?
Vision:
Adera wants to expose people of all backgrounds to God stuff! We want people to see first-hand what God and His people are doing in Ethiopia as a result of their response to the Gospel.
Participation:
Adera wants people to experience the first two commandments, loving God, loving people. This participation is real and raw when on STM.
Validate:
Adera wants full-time, in-country staff to know that others are supporting them both physically and spiritually.
Expand:
Adera wants those who come to expand and enhance the ministry by sharing their personal experiences, stories, and expertise.
Catalyst:
Adera wants the STM experience to be a catalyst for growth for those going and sending, as well as for those with whom the team interfaces while in country.
Community:
Adera wants to expand the awareness of American Christians as to the global nature of the body of Christ.
“…the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
