Southeast Asia
Register
Traverse through the bustling streets of Taiwan and find your new favorite hot pot and bubble tea shops. Hop from island to island in the Philippines on an outrigger boat, experiencing the beauty of creation along the way. Though only separated by a short flight, the two countries could hardly be more different. Your work in Southeast Asia begins in Taiwan before journeying to the Philippines for more ministry and debriefing. You may experience a little whiplash as you encounter Taiwan’s emphasis on speed and efficiency and then settle into the laid-back, flip-flop casual culture of the Philippines. It will be a unique cultural experience!
Join the story of what God is doing in Southeast Asia on this mission trip to the Philippines and Taiwan. Experience the Father's heart for His people around the world.

Outreach
In Taiwan, you will work with local churches in two cities and host a VBS for kids and teenagers. Build relationships with the Taiwanese students by organizing games, skits, sports, and crafts to create fun and introduce students to Jesus. After your time in Taiwan, you will journey to the Philippines, where you will begin island-hopping in small outrigger boats, making school presentations, sharing your faith door-to-door, and hosting weekend basketball camps for the youth.
Adventure
Personal development
Fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the beach while you camp in a village in the Philippines. Cruise from island to island in small outrigger boats while you minister to tiny villages that you won't find on any map. Have you ever ziplined from the jungle over the South China Sea or played frisbee on the shore of an uninhabited island where the water was warmer than a bathtub? All this and more is in store for you on this mission trip to Taiwan and the Philippines.
Team Dynamics
Growth
Your time on this trip will be long and fast-paced but oh so rewarding. While the long days will be a challenge, you will be encouraged as you rise up to face all that God wants to grow in you. Over the summer, you will find that God continuously met you in the time you devoted to devouring Scripture, team building, ministry experiences, and travel pressures to grow you in significant ways.
What are students saying about royal servants?
the royal servants experience
While every Royal Servants Trip is different, some things that never change.
From Training Camp to debriefing, every aspect of our ministry is focused on discipling our students. Through small group discussions, large group teachings, and an extensive debriefing process, we want to ensure your student is not only emotionally prepared for a summer overseas but also that they are prepared to apply what they learn in the summer to their life at home.
It is important for our teams to start with a solid foundation before they embark overseas. At Training Camp, you will begin building relationships with your team, learn how to share the Gospel, and prepare for what life will look like overseas. You will leave Training Camp ready to face any challenge that may come your way.
Over the course of the summer, you will experience how transforming life in Christian community can be. Through daily quiet times and small group discussions, you will deepen your relationship with God. Through outreach, you will gain new understanding of God's heart for the world and the Church. Through being in community, you will learn how to love those around you.
After weeks packed full of ministry outreaches, you will transition into a week of debriefing. Going home after an intense summer ministry experience can be challenging emotionally and spiritually. Debriefing is a time of reflection about what you have experienced, seeking wisdom from God, and preparing for the challenges you might face going home.
Throughout the summer, you will hear teachings on foundational Christian truths. Our biblical worldview is best described as historic Christianity, and we teach from a traditional perspective on morality and values that the church has held for over 2000 years. Refer to our Statement of Faith and make sure we are the right fit. On everything else, we encourage students to seek answers from their parents and local church community.
Royal Servants takes the safety and health of each participant seriously. We go to great lengths to ensure participants remain healthy and safe throughout the trip.
Therefore, no participant is allowed to be alone in any city; Royal Servants always travel in groups of three or more, and when possible, with either a male or Summer Staff in each group. The Trip Leaders also continually monitor conditions within the host country before and during the trip. The team will be moved to a stable location if a situation threatens the team's security, whether from political or environmental conditions.
Royal Servants mission trips are led by Reign Ministries’ staff, not part-time volunteers. Our staff care deeply about students and see leadership as a privilege. Each staff member is intensively trained on how to connect with and lead students. They are fully engaged in every aspect of the mission trip, whether being involved in ministry, leading Bible studies, or just hanging out building relationships. They are intentional to ensure that each student is discipled beginning at Training Camp and through debriefing prior to returning home.
