Upcoming Trips

Our short-term medical mission trips are unique in that they focus on caring for the medical needs of those who live in poverty, while also focusing on spiritual health! We will be sending a team to Guatemala for medical missions January 2027.

We have had the privilege to offer medical services to poverty stricken areas of the world while partnering with pastors and churches to share the gospel with unchurched people over the years. From 2007 through 2026 Woodlands has sponsored over 25 medical mission trips to Central and South America, our most recent being to San Juan Sacatapequez, Guatemala in January of 2026. Below are documents that will give you insight into these trips. If you have any questions about the most recent trip to Guatemala, or would like to receive information about upcoming trips, contact Vicki at vicki@woodlandschurch.org.
Global Welcome Ministry
SERVING New International Neighbors
The Global Welcome Ministry serves international communities in Central Wisconsin by being a welcoming and hospitable body of Christ-followers to those from different language and cultural backgrounds. We look to resource and provide opportunities to do just that in and around Central Wisconsin.
Concern for the Poor
We have a growing commitment to find practical ways to join with organizations and churches around the world that work and minister among the physically as well as the spiritually needy people of the world.

We have found that one of the best ways to help the poor is through organizations that have a long track record of successfully helping people who live in poverty all over the world. It is also helpful to choose a practical, regular, hands on way to do that.
We recommend that you consider sponsoring a child in need through Compassion International. Woodlands has established partnerships with Child Development Centers in Cochabamba, Bolivia and in Ghana, Africa, but Compassion is in countries across the world. We encourage you to consider sponsoring a child – in Bolivia, Ghana or, in any area of the world that is of interest to you. To learn more about Compassion and child sponsorship, please click the Compassion box below. To learn about our specific connections in Bolivia and Ghana, reach out to Vicki Neumueller.
Missionary Support & Care
We support a growing number of people and organizations who share the love of Christ with people around the world. We want to excel at raising up and supporting people who are actively involved in fulfilling Christ’s great commission. (Matthew 28:18-20)
We encourage you to learn more about the people we support. You can find current pictures of our missionaries and ways to pray for them by picking up a pamphlet at our Info Center.
*Many of our missionaries are working in areas of the world that are hostile to the gospel of Jesus Christ and actively root out those working for this cause. Because of that, please do not share any of the printed material electronically (via social media, email, etc.)
When missionaries are visiting from their mission field, they often experience needs like housing, transportation, and more. Our Here I Am Mission Advocates are a team of people that are notified of needs that our missionaries have while visiting, or ways they can support missionary events, and step in to serve! If you have a heart for missions and global outreach, being a part of this team is a practical way to make an impact.
