Vision Trips are designed for pastors, elders, and other leaders from Acts 29 U.S. churches who want to explore a potential church-to-church partnership after the conference.

The goal is to help guests explore a possible church-to-church partnership by spending time with a host church in its local context.

No. A Vision Trip is a season of discernment, not a commitment. Guests are asked to come with serious, prayerful consideration, but there is no expectation or obligation that the trip will result in an official partnership for either the guest or the host church.

The trip begins immediately after the conference. On Saturday, after the conference ends, you will travel with your host pastor to their city and begin learning the local context. On Sunday, you will attend worship, share meals, hear the story of the church, and meet members and leaders. Monday is typically the day to travel home, though you may choose to extend your trip at your own leisure.

For most guests, the Vision Trip is centered on the days immediately following the conference: Saturday travel, Sunday with the host church, and Monday departure. Some guests may personally choose to stay longer, but the core trip is intentionally short and focused.

You are responsible for your own airfare to and from the host city. A $500 registration fee covers meals, accommodation, and local ground transportation during the Vision Trip.

You should expect to travel to the host city after the conference ends on Saturday, typically in coordination with your host pastor. We recommend waiting to book airfare until you have consulted with your host and confirmed the travel plan.

After returning home, guests are given space to pray and discern. Within a month, the Acts 29 Europe team will follow up to help guests identify possible next steps.
