Join the 2026 FCFI Mission Trip to ECHO in Fort Myers, Florida

Each February, the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International (FCFI) organizes a meaningful mission trip to ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization) in Fort Myers, Florida. This special week offers a wonderful opportunity for fellowship, service, and spiritual growth.

Volunteers come together to support missionaries preparing to serve in areas facing extreme poverty—places where clean water and essential resources are scarce. The trip begins with a welcome supper on Saturday evening, January 31, followed by church on Sunday and work projects starting Monday morning. Projects are typically completed by Friday at noon, after which the group enjoys a shared meal of leftovers before heading home on February 6, 2026.

Throughout the week, participants experience not only the joy of helping others but also the blessing of Christian fellowship, shared meals, and moments of rest and reflection.

The cost of the trip is $250 per person, which includes lodging in comfortable, modern housing provided by ECHO.

Maintenance, including painting, is done by our FCFI volunteers

If you would like to join this rewarding mission experience, please contact Deb Herrold at 219-916-3535 for more information and to reserve your spot.

Hurry—space is limited, and we need to inform ECHO soon about how many houses to reserve.

See you in sunny South Florida!
