William Carey University sponsored two missionary trips over Spring Break 2024.

Students and faculty from Cooper School of Missions & Ministry Studies and the Baptist Student Union (BSU) traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina. The team visited the International Baptist Theological Seminary and interacted with ministry students. They led in worship and youth events at local churches. They helped serve warm meals to homeless people and shared the Gospel. This trip also explored future ministry possibilities for the 500,000-plus university students studying in 42 universities in the capital city alone.

In a second trip, the BSU sent a 20-member team to Maryland help Broken Wall Community Church in inner city Baltimore. Mission volunteers worked in and around Northbend Elementary-Middle school — repairing and painting benches, picking up trash, fixing little free libraries, building new furniture, cleaning, organizing, and assisting in at least six classrooms, including a special needs class. The team also helped supply refugee families from the Middle East and Central Africa with needed items and worked as movers for a local man in need of furniture.
