Theme

This Year's Theme

Every year MissionLab is shaped by a central theme that runs through teaching, devotionals, and worship all week. Lead with it when you promote the trip. It gives students something to grab onto before they ever get on the bus.

2026 Theme

On Earth As It Is In Heaven

Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Matthew 6:10

Every year God shapes MissionLab through a central theme, and 2026 is about prayer. Not prayer as an accessory to the Christian life, but as the ordinary means by which God's people depend on Him and join His work. To pray "on earth as it is in heaven" is to ask God to make visible here what is already true there.

Talking Points for Your Group

01

Every devotional, worship session, and ministry site placement this year is shaped by this theme.

02

We want groups to leave New Orleans not just having served, but having prayed in the streets, in the shelters, and in their own hearts.

03

Prayer isn't about bending God's will toward ours. It's about aligning our hearts with His.

04

Start praying this prayer with your group before you arrive, not just after you get here.

Subject: [CHURCH NAME] Student Mission Trip to New Orleans, [DATES]

Parents,

This [SUMMER/SPRING], our students are going to New Orleans for a week of hands-on mission work with MissionLab.

MissionLab has been hosting student mission teams in New Orleans since 2000. Our group will stay on a gated, secured campus, serve alongside local ministry partners during the day, and gather throughout the week for worship and teaching with students from across the country.

Here's what you need to know:

• Dates: [DATES]
• Cost: $[AMOUNT] per person (includes housing, meals, and ministry placement)
• Deposit: $[AMOUNT] due [DATE] to hold your student's spot
• Who can go: [GRADES]

I've attached the MissionLab participant packet, which covers housing, meals, safety, and a sample daily schedule. If you'd rather hear it in person, we're holding an interest meeting on [DATE] at [TIME] in [LOCATION].

Spots are limited and they fill up. Reply to this email or text me at [PHONE] to get your student on the list.

Student Support Letter

Give this to students to personalize and send to family and friends.

Dear [NAME],

This [SUMMER/SPRING], I'm going on a mission trip to New Orleans with [CHURCH NAME]. We'll be partnering with MissionLab, a ministry that has been sending student teams into New Orleans neighborhoods since 2000.

During the week I'll be serving at local ministry sites. That could mean running a backyard Bible club for kids, restocking a food pantry, doing repair work on a neighbor's home, or spending time with residents at a senior center. Throughout the week our whole group gathers for worship and teaching.

I'm asking you to partner with me in two ways:

1. Pray for me. Pray that I'd serve with a humble heart, that I'd be a good listener, and that the people we meet would see Jesus in how our team treats them.

2. Give if you're able. The total cost of my trip is $[AMOUNT], which covers housing, meals, transportation, and ministry supplies. Any amount helps. You can give by [HOW TO GIVE] by [DATE].

Thank you for investing in what God is doing in New Orleans!
