Trips are at the heart of the Christian Travelers Network - a place for you to share your upcoming adventures and invite others to join you in exploring the world through the lens of faith. As we build out this feature together, trips will become an organic way for believers to connect, gather for impromptu worship and Bible studies, and be witnesses for Christ wherever your journeys take you. Unlike typical group tours, these trips arise from our community members extending warm invitations for fellow Christian travelers to join their personal vacations and pilgrimages. You get to decide the destinations, activities, and overall experience. Then open it up for others to meet you there and journey together! The beauty is in the flexibility and grassroots connections. Maybe your trip starts as a solo pilgrimage, but you'll meet up with others along the way for times of fellowship. Or a family opens their travel plans to welcome additional believers to share in their God-moments on the road. Some may even weave service projects into their adventures. This goes beyond short-term missions by allowing you to be traveling disciples wherever you roam, while gaining the support, companionship and inspiration of your Christian travel community. As pioneers helping shape this trips platform, your ideas and experiences will guide how we facilitate these organic, faith-inspired travel connections.
