"Hope for the believer is not merely waiting for something to happen;

it is a commitment, here and now, to build the Kingdom of God.”

Pope Saint John Paul II

What are the deepest desires of your heart? Peace, love, joy, security, and the call to make a lasting, eternal difference?

Today, on Giving Tuesday, God invites you to partner in His work of salvation. Through the ministry of Catholic Mission Trips, Inc. (CMT), your generosity allows us to bring the love of Christ to individuals and communities who need it most.

By uniting our work with Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross, we build up the body of Christ in eternally significant ways. You make a lasting impact:

Restore Foundations - We restore homes, churches, and schools impacted by natural disasters and chronic poverty.
Renew Spirits - We offer ourselves in the essential relational ministry of presence - smiling, listening, and accompanying. Those who serve and those who are served are changed through encountering Christ, who "is close to the brokenhearted."
Inspire Missionary Disciples - We encounter the living Christ, who transforms teens into passionate missionary disciples.

We are grateful for the ever-growing network of people who make this possible - our dedicated teens, chaperones, mission leaders, volunteers and the many who support CMT through prayer and sacrificial giving.

CMT is still growing! In 2025, we equipped 750 missionaries to rebuild homes and serve in 18 locations, including disaster recovery in Dade City, FL, Black Mountain, NC, and Altadena, CA. With your support we will have an additional 20% more missionaries in 2026 to help more communities impacted by disaster or chronic poverty, including Jamaica!

We rely on donations to fund the work projects and lower the cost of these life-changing mission trips, allowing as many teens as possible to join us. Your gift is more than a donation; it is a direct investment in the hands and hearts that bring Christ to the poor. On this Giving Tuesday, we ask you to prayerfully consider making a sacrificial donation.

Your financial gift makes an immediate and lasting impact:

$50 provides basic housing for a teen for an entire week of mission
$150 matches the donation of a teen to cover the cost of building materials needed to restore a family's home
$500 covers the costs of housing, meals, transportation, and stipend for a Mission Leader for one week

We are also deeply grateful for being upheld by your prayers. Information about volunteering or serving on our Team can be found on the website.

Together, we are not just rebuilding homes, we are also renewing spirits, and bringing the enduring message of HOPE to those who need it most.

Thank you for your part in advancing the mission of Christ!

Donate now and empower young people to be the hands and feet of Christ!
