People to People was established to organize and support mission trips, both national and global.  Ascension has sent teams of missionaries to Honduras to complete projects and work with orphaned children, and to the US gulf coast to assist with hurricane disaster relief.  Trips to El Salvador are likely in the future as Ascension expands that partnership ministry.

One of the Ascension 2020 Visions is that "People of all ages are involved in multiple mission trips, locally, nationally, and globally." There are a number of opportunities to do just that in 2010.
