Itinerary
Itinerary Overview |
This 10-12 day journey is designed for churches and groups who want to experience the story of missions in Asia not just by hearing it, but by stepping into the places where it unfolded.
Your journey begins with a focused track in China, where your group will follow one of two primary missionary stories:
Hudson Taylor Track – Explore key cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou, where Hudson Taylor’s ministry took root and expanded inland. Learn how his approach reshaped missions strategy, and enjoy a chance to see the Great Wall of China, one of the most iconic sights in the world.
Lottie Moon Track – Travel to regions connected to Lottie Moon’s years of service in North China. Gain insight into her perseverance, her deep love for the people she served, and the enduring influence of her legacy on global missions. Enjoy a chance to see the Great Wall of China, one of the most iconic sights in the world.
Signature Experiences |
From there, the journey shifts to Taiwan, offering both contrast and continuation. In Taiwan, you’ll experience a place where Chinese culture thrives alongside religious freedom and a visible, growing Church. Visit the grave of Gladys Aylward in Taipei, and explore monuments and landmarks connected to George Leslie Mackay and other influential figures of the faith.
Alongside these meaningful moments, you’ll enjoy the best of Taiwan’s culture—exploring vibrant night markets filled with incredible street food, taking in the beauty of Sun Moon Lake, and experiencing the energy of Taipei’s modern skyline.
Customizable Options |
This is not a lecture tour. It’s a shared experience. The story unfolds naturally as you move from place to place—connecting past and present, sacrifice and growth, history and living faith.
Customizable options allow you to shape the journey to your church or group, whether selecting your China track, adjusting the pace, or choosing the level of accommodations. Most itineraries fall within a $6,000 per person range (double occupancy), depending on the final design and inclusions. For many groups, this becomes more than a trip. It becomes a deeper understanding of missions—one that stays with them long after they return home.
