Parent Vision Trips

Come see what God is doing.

A Parent Vision Trip is three things at once: a chance to see where your child serves, an immersive experience on the mission field, and a guided spiritual journey that will reshape the way you hold this whole season. Five to seven days. Led by Noelle or a fellow alumni parent. Worth every single second.

Important · Please read first

PVTs are invitation only — your child invites you.

  • You cannot sign up for a PVT on your own. Your Racer must personally invite you to come visit them on the field.
  • We cannot send you the invite link. The actual invitation comes directly from your child — not from Noelle or AIM.
  • You cannot choose the location. The country of your PVT is determined entirely by the route your child is on at that time.

Where we've gone

A few past PVT destinations

These are just a few of the locations we've hosted PVTs in the past. They are not an indication of where your child's PVT will be. The destination is set by your Racer's route — not by you, and not by this page.

Click each country to learn more about what a PVT in that part of the world has looked like and how you can support the ministries there.

If Noelle had to pick one word for Guatemala it would be 'joy.' Parents and Racers serve side by side and something holy happens in the middle of it. Adventures in Missions runs two CarePoints here focused on nutrition, discipleship, and English classes.

Nepal banner

Noelle came home from Nepal 'wrecked,' in the best possible way. Christians make up less than 2% of the population here. The gospel costs something in Nepal. One mom on a recent PVT said: 'I came to see what my daughter was doing. I left realizing what God was doing in me.'
