Listen "15: Why Your Student Needs Mission Trips"
Episode Synopsis
In this inspiring episode of the Hey Parents Podcast, Lee is joined by student ministry coordinator Aly McBrayer and global missions leader Madelyn DeFore to talk about an exciting milestone in a student’s faith journey: their first mission trip. From local service opportunities to international experiences like the Dominican Republic and Poland, mission trips push students outside their comfort zones, strengthen their dependence on the Lord, and show them firsthand what it means to live out the Great Commission.
Aly and Madelyn share personal stories, practical insights, and encouragement for parents—whether you’re navigating the nerves of sending your student away for the first time or looking for ways to be part of their spiritual preparation and growth. Discover why short-term missions are one of the most impactful discipleship tools we have and how you can partner with your student as they step into God’s work around the world.
