What's the Buzz All About?
Dare to be used by God in a life-changing way?
Seeking adventure?
Longing to be challenged spiritually?
If so, the Brio Missions Trip is for you! Allow God to use you more than you ever dreamed possible. You'll share your faith through drama, share your love for others through work projects, share His love by hugging the poorest of the poor and return home completely changed!
During the day, you'll be involved in a variety of mission experiences, and in the evenings you'll be challenged at FUAGNEM, (Fired Up And Going Nuts Every Minute!) our evening youth rally featuring testimonies from participants, praise and worship, concerts by some of your favorite Christian artists and special speakers.
Experiencing a Brio missions trip is sharing the Gospel plus a whole lot more! It's also experiencing intimacy with Christ as never before! We've seen God multiply peanut butter sandwiches (20 turned into more than 200!) multiply less than an inch of water to shampoo children's hair, and much more!
Experience Brio missions for yourself by daring to allow God to invade your soul with His intimacy!

The Brio missions trip is unique in many ways, but one we're particularly thrilled about is that we have about a 25 percent return rate among our alumni. That's HUGE! What keeps teens and adults coming back year after year? I'd say it's the love and acceptance they feel from our leaders, plus the connection they make with other Christian teens from around the world. It keeps them going all year until the next summer's trip. For many, it becomes a "reunion" of sorts. We've come full circle now with teens who went with us years ago returning as medical staff and adult leaders. That's amazing to me. Their lives were changed through our trip, and now they're making that investment in the lives of other teens coming behind them. We thank God for that.
