Real Life Missions exists to connect people in EVERY NATION to real life in JESUS CHRIST.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

Real Life Missions specializes in short term missions experiences and long term missions advancement.

Over the past decade, Real Life Missions has taken teams on short term mission trips to five different continents and over a dozen different nations. Our current focus is on the island nations in the Caribbean. We take several trips annually to Cuba and to St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.

A trip with Real Life Missions is so much more than an average mission trip.  You will be fully trained in sharing your faith, effectively ministering cross-culturally, and extending the Kingdom of God in a new nation.  Every facet of your travel, ministry, and cultural experience will be handled in great detail by our experienced team.

From our bases in Florida and the US Virgin Islands, we are also planting churches throughout the Caribbean and establishing long term campus ministries among university students. We anticipate planting 16 churches and 16 campus ministries in these island nations. Your investment into Real Life Missions, either by sending or by going, goes to establish these long term centers of life change.

"Walking the streets of Cuba and knocking on people's doors, and having them invite us into their homes, then looking into their eyes and sharing the gospel made me realize how very much we are all alike! We are all God's children in need of a Savior!"

-  Tonja

"For anyone thinking of joining a team, JUST GO! God will amaze you through the entire experience!"

- Marcy

"It's truly life changing when you go to another country, that has nothing in common with you, but somehow you end up becoming family. No matter who you are or where you come from, if you belong to Jesus you are family"

- Stephen
