WIN offers opportunities for you to engage with our work in places like India, Nepal, South America and more. Meet the people, participate in the projects, and experience the incredible culture, landscape and cuisine!
Heart and Hands Trips are for youth and those desiring to personally help with projects in the field. Participants should be prepared to work with kids and/or do manual labor along with WIN's local indigenous teams.
Project examples:
This trip can be tailored based on the skills of your group, so if your group has special skills, let us know and we’ll see where we can plug you in!
Participants will likely live at the same level as the local native people (likely not in hotels). If in Nepal, you will likely get to hike and sleep in rural locations. Participants should be prepared to “rough it” a little.
Internships are for those seeking college credit in the area of social work, micro-finance, community development or social justice.
Participants will be assigned various focus-related tasks and jobs both in the developing country (available countries at this time are India, Nepal or Peru) and with WIN’s US office in Colorado (US part may be done by remotely).
I visited WIN's work in India three times in the span of three years. I was beyond impressed with the Christ-like humility and incarnational model taking place among the most underprivileged in the world. Pastor John Kuo, Wu-Chang Conservative Baptist Church, Taiwan
I had come expecting to give, but I have received; to bless but I have been blessed; to teach but I have learned. The work here can be summed up in one word – ‘faithfulness:’ ~Steve Smith, Winchester, UK
Our team cannot begin to describe to you what it is like to be in the presence of greats in the faith who do not even think they are that great. We met people who had given up everything. ~Rebecca Schorn, Missions Coordinator, Immanuel Church, DE
No agency I'm aware of has a greater heart, a better organization or a more comprehensive plan to reach the tough areas of the world. ~Dr. Tom Hatley, former Chairman of the IMB; Sr. Pastor, IBC Go Center, AR; Board member of WIN's sister organization WIN Life.
Vision Trips: 11 days is sufficient for you to experience both Nepal and India. This also allows pastors to miss only one Sunday at their church.
Heart & Hands Trips and Internships: Duration depends on how long you are avaialble to serve in the project. One month is the recommended minimum duration though in some projects, you can accomplish alot in two weeks.
Internships may be equivalent to the above, or they may cost less depending on your skill level and how and where you serve.

Heart and Hands trips may be minimum of six people and maximum of around 20.
Vision Trips can be as big as 50 or as small as one or two, such as a senior pastor and his missions leader, or a business leader.
Internships may be individuals or duos.
NOTE that some of the locations we may take you large groups of visitors can result in our native leaders being persecuted later. So for such excursions we may divide you up into smaller groups who will go to different locations.
