Healing Mission | August 4-12, 2026

Registration is OPEN — This August, Encounter Missions crosses into Sri Lanka for the first time. It is a new frontier for us, and teams will spend four days in active ministry: hosting healing services, serving in schools and parishes alongside local Catholic communities, and leading an Encounter Weekend Intensive to release the power of the Holy Spirit.

When the ministry days close, the team gathers for a retreat of worship, sacraments, cultural immersion, and fellowship. You will go to bring healing and hope to Sri Lankan believers and equip them to keep ministering long after you leave. You will come home changed, carrying fresh grace and new boldness into your own community.

Healing Mission | November 3-10, 2026

Registration is OPEN — In November, Encounter Missions returns to the mountains and parishes of Guatemala. Teams fan out into churches, schools, and neighborhoods, ministering through healing services, evangelization, and an Encounter Weekend Intensive before coming together for a retreat built around worship, the sacraments, cultural immersion, and fellowship.

The aim is simple: to strengthen the Catholic faithful of Guatemala for Spirit-filled lives and confident witness. And as you pour out, you will be filled. Expect renewal, deeper intimacy with the Lord, and a fresh commissioning for the people back home.

Healing Mission | February 2-9, 2027

Registration is OPEN — Belize is where this ministry began, and in February 2027 we return for our fourth trip. That history matters: these communities know us, and we know them. Missionaries serve in parishes, schools, and neighborhoods through healing services, evangelization, and an Encounter Weekend Intensive, then gather for a retreat centered on worship, the sacraments, cultural immersion, and fellowship.

The goal is to leave the Belizean faithful stronger, more confident, and ready to share the Gospel on their own. You will leave stronger too, renewed in intimacy with the Lord and ready to release the Kingdom wherever you live. This will be Encounter Missions’ 4th trip to Belize.

Healing Mission | Late February or Early March 2027

Encounter's first mission to Tanzania puts teams at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, serving alongside the Dioceses of Arusha and Moshi. Ministry moves across both dioceses through healing services, evangelization, and the formation of local Catholic leaders, so the work continues after the team flies home.

When the ministry days end, everyone gathers for a retreat of worship, the sacraments, cultural immersion, and fellowship. You will bring healing and hope to Tanzanian believers and help equip leaders who will carry it forward. You will return renewed, closer to the Lord, and ready to pour out wherever God has planted you.

Street Ministry Mission & Pilgrimage | April 14-22, 2027

This one is different. Mornings are pilgrimage: you will walk the footsteps of saints and martyrs through the Eternal City's great sites, including St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, the Basilica of St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and Santa Maria Maggiore.

Evenings, the pilgrimage becomes mission. Teams step into the streets, plazas, and gathering places of Rome to offer prayer, healing, and personal encounters with Jesus. Through bold but gentle evangelization, you will reach pilgrims, locals, and visitors from every nation with the love, mercy, and power of Christ, right in the middle of ordinary moments.

Inner Healing Mission | August 2027

This is focused, specialized work. Across Toluca, Guadalajara, Zicácuaro, and Mexico City, we will serve a network of orphanages and foster homes caring for more than 200 girls, from infants to young women up to age 25.

For one week, trained volunteers walk beside these girls in inner-healing ministry, intercessory prayer, and spiritual formation, so each one knows she is seen, protected, and loved by God. We are building a carefully selected team of 80-90 spiritually mature volunteers committed to excellence in this ministry. Every participant completes safe-environment training and a pre-trip formation program (videos and materials provided) before travel.
