Thirst Missions

We take care of all the logistics and planning so your group can focus on ministry and relationships. On each trip, Thirst Missions has a staff of 2-5 who are with your team, taking care of logistics and guiding your group through the whole trip. It is our goal to partner with you, to provide opportunities for your group to minister, to keep the group safe, to guide the trip in cultural areas, and to serve your group by taking care of all the behind-the-scenes details.

One unique aspect of Thirst Mission Belize trips is that our staff during trips is primarily composed of people from Belize. Ludimir Nah and Perla Fernandez are our Co-Directors of Belize Operations and have been partners in setting up, hosting, overseeing, and following up after dozens and dozens of mission trips. The rest of our Belizean staff have a wealth of experience in ministry and in hosting mission teams as well. They provide a unique combination of expertise on Belize and it's culture and customs, while providing for a safe, fun, healthy, and life-changing trip for both the host churches in Belize and the groups ministering from North America.

Alaska and England are our more recent additions! Check out our website for more detailed information regarding these locations.

Even though most of our staff are Belizeans, our home-base is in Forest Lake, Minnesota. We work with churches and schools throughout the United States and Canada in providing short-term missions. Jason Pfingsten, Thirst’s Founder, has been leading mission trips to Belize for more than 20 years. Jason has overseen hundreds of mission trips, thousands of participants, and hundreds of staff members through the years serving mission teams in Belize.

“I invite you to bring your group to Belize, Alaska, and England and join us in our effort to minster throughout these beautiful locations. You will partner with local churches and have the opportunity to choose the ministries you’d like to participate in. Our prayer is that your group will be as blessed as the local churches will be whom you minister to and partner with during your trip. Our team invites you to come and serve alongside us.”
