What is it?
MissionsFEST and FamilyFEST are prepackaged missions experiences that provide volunteers an opportunity to partner with Christians from around the country, using their individual gifts and abilities to reach out and minister to others in Christ's name.

"FamilyFEST was a perfect opportunity for us to enjoy some vacation time as a family, and do mission activities together, as well,” This was the most meaningful vacation we’ve taken, and we are looking forward to participating again next year." —Deborah Carey – FamilyFEST participant

"It never ceases to amaze me how willing the volunteers are to do whatever it takes to make a difference,” Anderson said. “FamilyFEST is one of the best tools we have as Southern Baptists to get out there, work together and make a difference." —Tammy Anderson, missions consultant for Mississippi WMU 

FamilyFEST offers a unique opportunity for families to participate in a missions trip together. Families serve together as children learn missions from working alongside their parents, grandparents, or other adults. FamilyFEST is not just for families of the same household, but can be a great experience for church families and friends as well. FamilyFEST is recommended for anyone age 6 and up.
