World Vision's Pastors Vision Trips

Pastors Vision Trips connect the U.S. church to children, communities, and churches on the front lines of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. By providing an opportunity for busy church leaders to visit the field and see the impact of HIV and AIDS firsthand, we believe that God can use us, in partnership with our African brothers and sisters, to help turn the tide on this devastating disease. Churches can send one or two leaders, one of whom must be the senior pastor. Each trip participant will be asked to:

1) Sponsor a child and promote sponsorship in their congregation;
2) Engage their congregation in a one-time project to help AIDS-impacted children; or
3) Consider a three-year commitment to help "turn the tide" on HIV/AIDS in a specific African community.

Our trips focus on learning rather than serving. Given the cultural, historical, and religious complexities of Africa, this approach will help us lay a strong relational foundation with our African colleagues while preparing us to discern God's direction for future involvement.

If you're a church leader, join us on a Pastors Vision trip to Africa. If not, join the trip virtually through the testimonials and photos from pastors.

Together we can all help turn the tide on HIV/AIDS in Africa!
