WHY WE GOÂ
“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” genesis 12:3
Israel and the surrounding region have lived with conflict for generations. This ongoing tension affects everyday life and has created deep emotional, social, and spiritual needs among the people.
The Christian community in Israel is small and incredibly diverse. It includes Arab Christians, immigrant believers, and followers of Christ from many cultures and church traditions. This diversity brings beauty and richness to the faith—but it can also lead to division. Differences in language, ethnicity, history, and theology often make unity difficult.
At the same time, there is a real longing among believers for greater unity and cooperation, even though old wounds and divisions still exist.
Local churches and ministries serve faithfully in a very complex religious and political environment. They often face challenges such as limited resources, cultural misunderstandings, and the emotional weight of ministering in a land shaped by ongoing conflict.
Prayer is deeply needed—for unity among believers that goes beyond past divisions, for reconciliation between communities, and for peace and stability in the region.
Mission teams come alongside local believers to encourage and support them. Through partnership with churches, building genuine relationships, caring for vulnerable populations, and committing to intercessory prayer, teams help strengthen both the spiritual and social fabric of the community.
On this mission, you will spend the majority of your time in Galilee—the region where much of Jesus’s ministry took place and where our partner church is located.
This will be a meaningful time of encouraging local believers, learning about Israel’s spiritual and physical needs, building relationships, and engaging in intercessory prayer.
You’ll visit local kibbutzim and connect with the community, including elderly Russian Jewish immigrants—many of whom are Holocaust survivors. On Friday, you’ll participate in a Shabbat service at the local church, followed by a time of fellowship and a traditional Shabbat meal.
Our prayer ministry will take place in key locations such as the Golan Heights, Metula, and other strategic areas, where you’ll also have the opportunity to pray for Israeli soldiers.
During the prayer walks in Galilee, you’ll visit significant biblical sites including Capernaum, Tabgha (the site of the miracle of the loaves and fishes), the Mount of Beatitudes, Caesarea Philippi, Tel Dan, and more. A special time of worship will take place during a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.
The final two days of the trip will be spent in Jerusalem, where you’ll take part in a prayer walk led by an experienced Christian tour guide. Please note that these days will involve a significant amount of walking.
We encourage you to carefully consider your health and physical condition so you don’t miss out on experiencing the incredible spiritual heritage of Jerusalem.
Some of the key sites in Jerusalem include the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Upper Room (Room of the Last Supper), the house of the high priest Caiaphas, the Pool of Bethesda, the Jewish Quarter, the Western Wall, the City of David, and the Garden Tomb.
“During these small moments of this time in Israel as I was able to see His Beloved land and precious people and I was given a new texture in my walk.   It seems as though now as I read the Word and pray there is another dimension a tangible component that was not there before. I can actually touch them in my heart. “- Pat Duncan, Missionary to Israel 2019

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…

Serving on the mission field with Chuck and Helen Todd is a life-changing experience. Their heart is to be an extension of God's hands assisting pastors in other countries reaching out to their congregation, community, rehab centers and whatever is needed. They are a tremendous blessing to many. - Becky Durr

I have traveled with other missions, but the personal relationship between the leaders (Helen and Chuck Todd) and those of us on the team, (who can come from various backgrounds and countries from around the world) fosters unity in the Spirit of God. It truly becomes family (in Christ) when you go on the mission field with WMA. I am so grateful that Jesus pointed me to travel with WMA! -- and more importantly, that WMA always points everyone, and all they do, to Jesus!
- Laurie Ball-Gisch

I have traveled with WMA since September 2011. They are very organized, but are open to the move of the Holy Spirit. It is apparent that the mission of WMA is the "Great Commission". I am so thankful that I was led to WMA when I felt a call to go into overseas missions. I am a retired law enforcement officer and as a result I am naturally suspicious of organizations I am not familiar with. My research online resulted in only positive reviews. I praise God for this wonderful ministry!
-Debra Yokley

I could say that they were well organized, provided excellent accommodations, fed us well, and looked after our safety. And all that would be true, but their heart for serving the Lord and lifting the name of Jesus is what impressed me the most. My time and money are in short supply, but neither were wasted during the mission trip to Macedonia. If you love Jesus and feel called to go tell others of His love for them, then World Missions Alliance is the horse you want to tie your cart to.
-Carl Morner
"Amazing trip. It was a wide-open door of opportunity as Paul would say. Fantastic organization behind the scenes by Chuck & Helen. Lots of prayer went into this before and during, done with high integrity. This is a mature ministry, making a significant impact. Done with a Christ-like demeanor.
No words can describe the blessing that I received...Can not wait to go again!!!

The day I came home from Ireland was the day the Lord told me I was going to Lebanon! So far it has been my favorite trip. He told me it was an act of obedience and if I went He would take care of my daughter. Great blessings were given during this trip and a greater blessing when I got home! It was very overwhelming to know that God used us to answer many prayers for families both in Lebanon and at home.
- Melinda Fazzolari

I'm excited to see where God sends me next! Our Argentina team was amazing and hand picked by our Father! Blessings Chuck and Helen! Look forward to seeing you both soon!
- Paul Lamendola

This mission trip (Thailand) was such a blessing to me. I most enjoy working with WMA teams and the leadership of Helen and Chuck. They help bring unity to our diverse ministries and make the missions successful!
- Helen Myers

Had a great time of ministry in China with WMA. If you are looking for a ministry opportunity, join with WMA! It is exciting to be a part of what God is doing around the world.
- Dale Combs
I had to travel across the world to see I had not been alone in my thoughts and questions. God used WMA to accomplish His twofold mission.
- Kressa Phillips


I'm blessed to have been making mission trips with Chuck and Helen since 1994. They have been an excellent tool in our missions' call to the nations.
- Gwen Reed
I have been on other mission trips with my church. But I knew God wanted me to go on this trip. It has forever changed me. It increased my desire for missions and to spread the Light of Christ. It's awesome what WMA is doing. I was taken out of my comfort zone, I'm so glad I was obedient to what God was calling me to do.
- Cynthia Altman

A few months ago I went to Thailand, that mission trip changed my entire life. It changed how I viewed God, it changed how I viewed myself. Before going on that mission trip I doubted what God had for me, he showed me things that warmed my heart, he showed me that pain can be healed with love from the simplest things.
- Anna McCasland
