“Mission Discovery.” He read our display logo. “I’ve not heard of you, what do you do?” Last weekend I was at a conference with 3800 youth leaders in Atlanta. At the Mission Discovery booth, Matt, a booth operator with another organization, asked the question I love answering.

When I started Mission Discovery I wanted the name to explain exactly what we did. “Our mission is to discover what God is doing in the world, and simply join Him.”

New this year for Mission Discovery is our work in Hardrock, Arizona. Like many towns on the Navajo Reservation, the people of Hardrock, AZ are experiencing difficult economic times.

They have little hope of the situation improving, and most times the residents feel as though they are a forgotten people. God is calling His followers to come alongside the families in this area to minister to their physical and spiritual needs. Your group will partner with the Navajo Gospel Mission. This center provides aid to families from both the Navajo Reservation and the nearby Hopi Reservation.

With mission trips in 9 nations including 5 states in the U.S. it's not hard to find great stories of changed lives. Pictured here is Ann Buchanan, wife of Mission Discovery founder Maury Buchanan in Bulembu, Swaziland. Ann spent a week in the tiny African nation as a part of Mission Discovery's partnership with Bulembu Ministries Swaziland. Along with 38 other youth and adults, Ann worked on physical projects in the morning and spent her afternoons in the home of 6 orphans and their "Auntie".

Mission Discovery Summer Mission Trips are underway and Maury Buchanan, gives this video update on all that's happening. Mission Discovery organizes trips in 9 nations including the United States for youth, college age, and adult groups.
