FAQs
What is a Digital Mission Trip?
A Digital Mission Trip is like a physical mission trip in the sense that it encourages the body of Christ to come together for one purpose — to know Jesus and to make Jesus known to others. People are increasingly turning online for communication, to gather information, and even to search for answers to a purpose-driven life.
A DMT uses technology to connect our people to a global purpose and encourage relationships between us and our global church partners.
How do I choose a trip?
There are multiple factors to take into consideration when choosing a trip. Our trips fall into three general categories: Digital, Domestic, and International. Pray and ask God for direction and confirmation as you consider this opportunity and where He would have you go. We encourage you to consider the locations and people groups and whether there is a trip you are specifically drawn to or a time of year that works best with your schedule.
What is the age minimum to participate on a short-term trip?
- Family Trips: 7 years old.
- Student Trips: 6 – 12 grade.
- 1825 Trips: 18 – 25 years old.
- Adult Trips: 18 years old.
Exceptions can be made to the above age limits. If you have specific circumstances, email our team at [email protected] to discuss.
How will I know my application was received?
You will receive a confirmation email from Managed Missions after submitting your application. This confirms that Eleven22 has received your application. Once your application has been submitted, a Short-term Sending representative will review the application and you will be notified once it is approved.
Due to the large volume of applications being processed, please allow at least 10-14 days for approval. Your deposit will not be charged until your application has been reviewed and processed by your trip leaders.
If you do not receive this confirmation, please contact us at [email protected].
Who goes on trips?
As a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ, we aim to provide options that make sense for everyone. The majority of our trips do not require specific criteria to qualify. However, some are better suited for first-timers, specific skill sets, etc.
Please explore our short-term trip bios and partner websites to choose the best fit for you. Email [email protected] with specific questions and our team would be happy to guide you.
Where do I get the money to go on a trip?
All team members are financially responsible for the cost of the trip but are encouraged to do so by raising support. Once approved on the team, you will have access to a Support-Raising Guide and your team leaders will help you walk through this process.
We believe that support raising is a discipleship opportunity first and foremost. Therefore, we ask that team members raise individual funds by writing letters to friends and family sharing the goal of the trip and the financial requirements to make the trip happen.
We believe the Lord will simultaneously use your story to inform those in your sphere of influence on how He is moving in your life and around the world.
Even if you are capable of paying for your trip, we ask that you participate in the support-raising process to invite others into how God is moving in you, your team and the partners we serve. While you are individually responsible, we ask that you see the team’s need as the ultimate goal. Your excess could be someone else on the team’s provision.
When are payments due?
Generally, half-payment is due about 90 days before departure and the remaining balance 30 days before departure. Please keep in mind, that deadlines may vary per trip. Once accepted for the trip, you will have access to all these details in your Managed Missions account.
How do I donate to a short-term trip?
Donations can be made directly using the team’s online donation page. The participant will need to provide this link for you. If you wish for your donations to go to the team as a whole, please select “entire team” in the drop-down menu. If you are donating to an individual, you can do so by selecting the team member’s name in the drop-down menu. If you would like to make an anonymous donation, please email us at [email protected].
If you prefer to donate using cash/check, make checks payable to The Church of Eleven22. Please include the team member’s name and trip name in the memo line. Cash and checks may be dropped off or mailed to The Church of Eleven22 Central Offices at 14286 Beach Blvd. Ste. 42 Jacksonville, FL 32250.

Can I use my travel points / rewards?
Unfortunately, this is not an option. Airfare and hotel accommodations vary per trip and are not guaranteed with a specific airline or hotel chain.
In order to keep our trip costs affordable; the Short-term Sending staff purchase a team’s airfare as a group, with unique fares and we are unable to manage the details of individual circumstances.
Once your tickets are purchased, we encourage you to contact the airline on your own to have your flights applied to your airline miles.
What if I don't have a passport?
You can still apply for your trip. Please proceed with your trip application using “placeholder information” and apply for a passport now. After you receive your new passport, update your Managed Missions account with that information.
If your passport expires less than six months after your departure date, you will need to renew your passport as soon as possible. Additionally, if you have a non-U.S. passport, you are responsible to acquire your own visa in order to travel internationally (if applicable).
What can I do to prepare?
- Pray: For your leaders, your team, our partners and all the people the Lord will have you meet through this experience.
- Apply: Complete the online application.
- Passport: Apply now. If your passport expires less than six months after your departure date, you will need to renew your passport as soon as possible.
- Immunizations: Visit cdc.gov/travel for information regarding vaccinations suggested for your country of travel.
- Research: Visit our partners’ website to learn more about the organization and local people you will be serving.

What is Managed Missions?
Managed Missions is an online platform that we use to house tools and resources that are designed to further equip you to be sent for the glory of God.
After applying to and being accepted on a mission trip, you will have access to a trip page on Managed Missions that will serve as the primary hub for all information about your mission trip.
This includes but is not limited to: team meeting dates, support-raising progress, and specific details about your mission trip and the organization that you’re partnering with.
What does the "launched from" trip description mean?
We are one church in many locations. A great way to stay connected in this big faith family is by being sent as a community alongside the people that you’re doing life with at the campus you attend.
In an effort to help you stay connected to your community, each of our mission trips will be launched from a specific campus. This means that the trip leaders and participants for each trip will be primarily from the launched from campus.
*Please note: If you attend a different campus than the launched from campus listed on a trip, you are still more than welcome to apply!
Have More Questions?
Whether it’s a question about service times, a prayer request, or anything else in between, we make a point of personally responding to every message sent to us.
