Join Joni and Friends at Family Retreat for a Christ-centered mission experience where families serve together. Parents, teens, and children (any age) come alongside families with disability-serving as buddies, helping with programs and activities, or supporting hospitality and medical teams.

Family Retreat offers a week of worship, service, and community where families with disability experience rest and encouragement, and volunteers grow in faith as they share the love of Christ.

September 5-12, 2026

( open to adults 18+ and to qualifying Highlands Student Ministry students attending with a parent or grandparent)

The mission team is located in the capital city of San Salvador and is led by veteran missionaries Rodney and Jana Davila. This team is planting a new church in San Salvador and is in the early phases focusing on relationship building. Our short term team will be primarily aiding these missionaries in developing new relationships with English language learners at the University of Central America, the National University of El Salvador, and an English language club. Highlands previously sent a vision trip team when the El Salvador Mission was being established as well as a short term mission team in 2024 led by Chip and Cindy Johnson. Join us this September as we dive into Salvadorian culture and aid these long term MTW missionaries in planting a church so that the gospel can transform lives and bring hope to El Salvador!
