Tent Schools International

Go.

Want to see the work of Tent Schools International firsthand? Step into a different world on a Vision Trip to Jordan! Vision Trips are a combined mission and tourism program we offer through our partners at Sense of Community. You’ll meet teachers and get to know students as a classroom volunteer at Marka Education Center, plus tour some of Jordan’s most stunning sites, including Petra, Mount Nebo, the Jordan River, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea.

"I had a wonderful time in Jordan. It was an emotional experience, but very rewarding. Seeing and experiencing the school is more meaningful than just reading about it. [There was] joy and comfort in making new friends, learning new things, connecting with people, gaining a new perspective on the world, and hoping that I can somehow help at least one person...
I am grateful."

Why Vision Trips?

A Vision Trip is different than a traditional short-term mission trip. On Vision Trips, supporters go to learn about Jordan and witness the work being done there by TSI’s on-the-ground team. The goal is to immerse yourself in a new culture and connect with people on the other side of the globe, forming meaningful relationships with them.

Do we serve on Vision Trips? Yes! Supporters will have the opportunity to volunteer in the classrooms and deliver aid to student families. The value you add extends beyond the trip in the form of deep human connections and prayerful support for the work of our partners as they serve refugee children through compassionate schools.

How long is a Vision Trip?

Our trips are just over a week, including travel. You’ll spend a few days touring the spectacular sights of Jordan and a few more at our partner school, Marka Education Center in Amman.

What is the cost of a Vision Trip?

Our trips are reasonably priced and our partners at Sense of Community take care of everything, from booking flights, to food, to lodging, to coordinating with the school’s principal on ways supporters can engage with staff and students. If you’d rather book your own flights and save money using airline miles, you can let us know during the registration process.
