WORK MISSION TEAMS — TANZANIA 2027
May 16–29, 2027
July 11-24-2027
WHILE MAY & JULY WORK MISSION TRIPS
Both the May and July Work Mission Trips are structured in much the same way. Each trip is designed to give participants the opportunity to serve through work projects, evangelism, worship, community outreach, feeding programs, and time with the people of Tanzania.
While the overall itinerary and mission experience will be similar, some activities may vary, especially feeding opportunities. Feeding events depend on the community's needs, available resources, and the ministry schedule for your specific trip.
Our goal is not simply to follow a schedule, but to remain flexible and respond to where God leads us and where there is a need.
No matter which trip you choose, our purpose remains the same: to serve, share the Gospel, show the love of Jesus Christ, and make an impact in the lives of the people we encounter.
''THANK YOU FOR YOUR YES''
These mission trips are designed to engage with the village and the people of Tanzania—to share the Gospel and the love of Jesus Christ while creating opportunities to make an impact in the lives of others and in our own lives.
You will experience firsthand the amazing work God is doing in and through this ministry. We are honored that you have chosen to join us on this adventure with OTWIM.
Our prayer is that God will use you in ways you never expected, and that you will leave this land and the people we love with a newfound perspective.

❤️ THANK YOU FOR YOUR YES!
This is more than a trip.
It is an opportunity to serve, work, worship, build relationships, share the Gospel, and love people.
You will have the opportunity to put your hands to work, your feet to the ground, and your heart into the lives of people in Tanzania.
You will see the work of OTWIM firsthand—from the school and village to the children, families, churches, and communities we serve.
We are so honored that you have chosen to join us on this adventure with Outside The Walls International Ministries.
Our prayer is that God would use you in ways you would never expect.
That you would see people differently.
That you would see missions differently.
That you would see yourself differently.
And that when you leave Tanzania, you will leave this land and these people we love with a newfound perspective and a heart forever changed by what God allowed you to experience.
Thank you for your YES!
Welcome to Tanzania. Welcome to the adventure.
Let's go Outside The Walls!
