A NOTE FROM PAUL GUNN, DIRECTOR
Capitalizing in my mission trip experiences as a youth pastor for over 20 years, I founded Mission Fever in 2009 with one goal: to share God's love with others through meeting needs.
During my college years at the University of Tennessee I participated on mission trips through the Baptist Student Union. I captured a vision for what can be done when groups of people organized and mobilize together. When I became a youth pastor I incorporated mission trips as a mainstay of youth work. Mission Fever comes out of my desire to focus on what I love doing. I now have friends in distant places who ask me to return with more teams.
It has been a blessing to go to these places, taking groups with a purpose: The Galapagos Islands (3 trips), Bimini Bahamas (9 trips), Saba island (5 trips), Chicago (4 trips), New York City (1 trip), and Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota (4 trips).
Right now I am a full time chaplain in the Air Force Reserve. As soon as resources allow I plan to lead Mission Fever full time, with the guidance of the Mission Fever Board of Directors.
Our greatest need right now is support, either as one time donations or a monthly donations. Even a $5 per month donation. Since I have a full time job, all donations go directly to funding mission trips and running Mission Fever.
If you have a passion for helping others in Christ's name, travel and adventure, sign up for a Mission Fever trip today!
