Mission Possible International (MPI)
Creates life-changing experiences through hands on short-term mission trips.
Since 1996, MPI has created and carried out mission trips for individuals, youth groups, and churches.
We offer a local outreach, which can be to New Orleans or in your home state. To gain a cross cultural experience, we offer a mission trip to the Caribbean. To take you out of the western culture, MPI also offers international mission trips. Places we have been in the past include Mexico, South Africa, and Scotland.
Our biblical mandate is Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” This creates a ripple effect both in discipling and evangelizing young people.
MPI Leaders and Staff actively participate in all of the outreaches and the design of the trip. MPI serves through coordinating everything such as creating the schedule, setting up the ministry, arranging transportation, meals, being on the grounds with the team, and debriefing. From the big things to the little things, MPI can handle every detail!

Director and Pastor Bob Ogle
It was in 1972 when Rev. Robert F. Ogle first answered the call of God and attended bible school in New Jersey. It was there he met Cheryl Johnson and they were married in 1975.
Upon completion of their biblical studies Bob and Cheryl chose to follow God's leading to the mission field. The next 17 years was a whirlwind of having three children of their own, while reaching out to the "least of these" all over the world. Bob became the Caribbean/Central American director for Youth With A Mission while Cheryl taught school to her children and others.
The Ogles left the mission field in 1989 and moved to Lafayette in 1990. Bob took his first pastoral positon and was ordianed in 1996. In 2007, Bob accepted the call to become the Pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church. that church has now successfully merged with another church and is now Trinity Anglican. Though he left the mission field full time, Bob continues to offer many short term mission trips through MPI. Bob has a passion for teaching. He is a gifted communicator, who speaks the truth plainly. God has given Bob a vision and a passion for helping people meet Jesus both across the street and across the world.
Local: New Orleans
Living in Louisiana has given us the wonderful opportunity to take young people to New Orleans. Since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in August 2005, thousands of volunteers have flocked to the city of New Orleans. The recovery process has been slow, but steady. It will be many years before the city and its residents make a full recovery. Since 2005, MPI has mobilized hundreds of participants to help with the recovery efforts in New Orleans. Many residences and churches in New Orleans have benefited from the work of MPI. Projects included gutting houses, painting houses, children's outreaches, service projects, outreaches to the homeless, sports camps and more.
This is a great starter trip for those who have never been on a mission trip or for those who do not have lots of free time to volunteer.
Cross Cultural:
St.Croix
In 1986, God enabled Bob and Cheryl to purchase a property that became the home base in St. Croix for Youth With A Mission (YWAM) . That property continues to be used today by YWAM. Our relationship with this base allows us to continue to take short term teams to St. Croix for children's camps, service projects, sports camps, and more.
St. Croix is a great place to gain a cross cultural experience.
Recap of our Mission Trip to St Croix in 2017
International:
South Africa
We have been taking trips to South Africa since 2002. We have built strong relationships with the Pastor's and local communities we served that remains to this day.
We share the love of Christ through evangelism, children's ministry, dance, construction, youth retreats and so much more. Our short term teams make an real impact on a community that lasts longer than just our time there.
South Africa is a life changing experience for both the young and the young at heart. Check out the video recap below of our 2005 trip
International:
Scotland
We took a group of High School and College Age Young People to Lochinver, Scotland. There we worked with children and youth at a local boys and girls club, as well as spoke to students in schools.

What is a typical MPI trip like?
We’ve partnered with churches and ministries that are already established and are rooted in the countries we serve. As you’re reading this, these ministries are passionately serving and loving their neighbors, working to meet physical and spiritual needs in Jesus’ name. When we arrive, we come alongside their efforts for long-lasting impact. Types of work vary based on location, so here are a few examples of what you could be doing:
*Children’s VBS outreach
*Minor construction repairs to buildings
*Sports camps for local teenagers
*Service projects
*Community block parties for outreach
*and so much more
We also make it a point to carve out some time to enjoy the location we are serving in and spend time together as a team.
What is the cost of a MPI trip?
The cost per trip varies by the location we go to, but usually include air fare and a grounds fee.
Do I need a Passport?
.Although some of the locations may not require one, we highly recommend getting one because all our internationals trips do require a passport
