Honduras – Where it all began
Activity Level: 1-5 Security Level: Green (what is this?)
This is where God birthed Extreme Missionary Adventures back in the 90s and its still the heart of our ministry. Through the blessings of the Lord and many hundreds of volunteers we have planted over one hundred thriving, evangelical churches in previously unreached remote villages. The Lord has also allowed us to build two Child Care Centers and a Christian FM radio station reaching over 500,000 people with the Gospel. We usually send 25 to 35 volunteer teams per year to Honduras.
We have three volunteer bases in Honduras. Our main location is The River House located on the banks of the beautiful Mame River in the rugged, wild-west department of Olancho. Here we have a comfortable (by Honduran standards) volunteer house plus our national training center including a tabernacle, men’s & women’s dormitories and dining facilities. The training center is used for week long training seminars for local pastors and laity several times each year. Our other two volunteer bases in Honduras are newer and are in the towns of Danli and Siguatepeque. Each is hosted by fulltime XMA staff families.
Our Honduran Extreme Missionary Adventure trips are ‘up2u’ trips meaning the adventure level and ministry is determined by each team. Whether you are into laid-back adventure or strenuous activity, we have a trip that’s just right for you. You can also choose from a variety of ways to spread the Gospel of God’s love. Opportunities include construction, medical and dental work, sports evangelism, pastor training, showing the Jesus Film, and working in childcare centers, among others. Your team will travel by commercial airline, four wheel drive truck and possibly by boat and/or on foot to reach the lost all the way from the cities to the remote villages in the beautiful mountains of Honduras. You will be working hands on with local Honduran Christians to bring the good news to those who have never heard it.
Honduran adventure with a purpose trips are usually eight days long, Saturday to Saturday, and cost approximately $1,500 per person. Team size is typically six to eight people although we do have many teams of twenty or more. Each team is accompanied by an experienced XMA teamleader and one or more Honduran hosts/guides/interpreters. Find your Honduran adventure here. Check out the Calendar!

SOUTH AMERICA
Peru – Reaching Out to the Asheninka
Activity Level: 3-5 Security Level: Green (what is this?)
Your Peruvian Adventure begins with travel by commercial airline, then bush plane and/or 4-wheel “jungle taxi” and finally by boat along tributaries of the Amazon River to visit remote Asheninka Indian villages deep in the jungles of Peru. Once in the villages you will use pre-recorded oral Bible stories and/or the Jesus Film to help plant churches in previously unreached villages. This is truly exciting work as most of these people have never even heard the Gospel before!
Asheninka Adventure trips are usually nine days, Saturday to Sunday, and cost $2,200 and up according to how many members are included in the team. Team size is typically four to five men and/or women. Check here to find out how you can be a part of the awesome work God is doing through XMA in Peru. Check out the Calendar!
ASIA
Southeast Asia Literature Distribution
Activity Level: 5 Security Level: Red (what is this?)
We have a very unique opportunity to partner with IMB missionaries in Southeast Asia using backpackers to distribute Gospel literature to unreached people groups. These people groups live in remote areas of a restricted country. While in the villages they will have opportunities to share Bible stories and open doors for further evangelism.
Due to the extremely hot, humid weather in the summer these trips take place during the winter months. They are about ten days long and will be limited to no more than four people – your teamleader plus two or three others. The total cost for the trip including lodging, food, insurance, transportation, visas and everything else runs about $2,800 per person. Space is very limited so check our trip calendar and signup today! Check out the Calendar!
Central Asia Storying Adventure
Activity Level: 3-5 Security Level: Red (what is this?)
Are you a “people-person”? Do you like to hang out telling stories? Do you like learning about other cultures and people? Do you like to drink tea? Then this is just the adventure for you. We will spend a week hanging out, drinking tea and eating a lot of really good local food while developing relationships and sharing stories from our lives. Of course, the most important stories are what Christ has done for us and we’ll also talk about this with some very interested people. It’s not uncommon for a meal to go on for several hours as our hosts ask sincere questions about this Jesus and listen intently. In some cases we even show them a movie about Jesus on the equipment we just happen to have with us.
These open-minded people are cultural Muslims but most know very little about Islam. They are Muslim because of where they live not necessarily what they believe. They also live in a fairly open, democratic country right in the middle of many very restricted countries. So, by helping reach these people you will be planting seeds which could grow across borders into areas we cannot go.
Severe winter weather limits access to these people to the spring, summer and fall months. Trips are ten days long and cost about $4,000. It includes 4 wheel driving (and possibly hiking), staying in village homes and making lots of new friendships. Join us on this Adventure with a Purpose trip! Check out the Calendar!
