July 2025 Paraguay Mission Trip Application

God is on the move in Paraguay and you can be part of it! Citylight Council Bluffs is partnering with the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Paraguay to support the ACyM Limpio church plant's Vacation Bible School. If you can play games, do crafts, make food, sing songs, and show the love of Jesus to a bunch of kids -- this is the trip for you!

Dates: 8 to 10 days between July 4 & 20, 2025 (Exact dates will be determined when the host church finalizes the dates for their VBS.)

Cost: $800 + airfare (varies but approx. $1,900) = $2,700 Total

For this trip, we're praying for a good mix of students and adults. The students do a great job of engaging with the young people in Paraguay, and the adults get to build relationships with the adult missionaries and church leaders. If you're a junior or senior in high school, we want you! We can take a maximum of 13 people.

- 6 seats will be prioritized for students (High School juniors and seniors will get first opportunity. If there are open student seats remaining, underclassmen will be considered.)
- 7 seats will be reserved for adults.

With all that said, if you’re interested in going please apply! There’s been a great response to the opportunity to support the mission in Paraguay. Our church has built a partnership with the Paraguayan church and we plan to send a trip every year. If the 2025 trip fills up, we'll keep in touch about future trips.
