STORM TEAMS
WANT TO EXPERIENCE MISSIONARY WORK
ON A SHORT TERM BASIS?
Mannahouse STORM Teams (Short-Term Outreach Missions) are 1–2 week domestic and international trips designed to share the Gospel and support what God is already doing around the world. These teams partner with our missionaries and host churches, using their gifts and skills to meet real needs, strengthen local ministries, and bring hope through Jesus. From church launches and youth outreach to prayer and practical support, STORM Teams serve with purpose in communities across the U.S. and globally.
If you’re interested in using your gifts and skills to make a meaningful impact through a STORM Team, we invite you to fill out an interest form. You’ll receive updates on upcoming trips and next steps to be part of reaching the nations with the good news of Jesus.
