All throughout Scripture, we see God’s heart to make Himself known among the nations, that ALL people might know Him. Missions exist to advance the Gospel and make His name known in places where it is not known. Whether you decide to take a short term trip or go somewhere long term, we want to provide you an opportunity to take that next step to be part of God’s mission wherever you go.
Short Term Teams are sent to serve alongside our missionary partners and church planters. People are the mission, not projects. While projects are often a necessary platform to share the Gospel with locals, empowering and equipping the local church to reach the unchurched is the main goal of our trips. We desire to build meaningful relationships with our field partners in order to have long-term sustainability and a far more lasting impact. These trips are one of the best discipleship opportunities at our church. A lifetime commitment to the nations often begins on a Short Term Trip.

Haiti Awake is a nonprofit started by Becky Graves (Wilmington) and Steeve Durard (Haiti). Haiti Awake’s mission is to awaken Haitian believers engaging in hope-based, gospel-centered relationships through economic development, church ministry development, and community development.
The vision of the ministry is that local people are at the heart of what God is doing at any place around the world. Outsiders are to come alongside locals to strengthen their hand and their role through mutuality.
Ministries at Haiti Awake include a community center with a sports program, computer lab, library/English class, Mission Made Jewelry, which sells handmade products in the US, prison outreach and child sponsorship.
Brilla Café was established in 2022 by our missionaries, Adam and Emily Byerly, to be a place where the Byerlys are able to become an integral part of the neighborhood by serving great coffee and offering English conversation classes on a consistent basis.
In the past, The Bridge Church sent teams to help with their English conversation event called, "Tapas y Temas". During this event, Spanish people come and rotate to different tables that each have native English speakers from the Bridge and a set of guiding conversation questions. This was a great way to naturally engage people in conversation regarding their values, cultural differences, and personal beliefs.
Unfortunately, this event only happened twice a year and people also seemed a little wary of coming into a church. The Byerlys began to think about ways to do this more consistently in a space outside of the church and decided to begin a more formal program through the café in the evenings. The program is thriving and there is a wait list of those eager to join. These classes have proven to be a great catalyst for conversations about spiritual topics leading to deeper discussions about salvation and Jesus.
Our GO (Global Outreach) Team at the Bridge exists to help catalyze missions at the Bridge church and pray, care, and advocate for our missionaries as they go!
