Communicate the important information about mission trips with this page.  Each mission trip you add to the list will also have its own page.


Here are the steps to add a mission trip to the page:

  1. Click on the blue "add a mission trip" button.
  2. Type the name of the trip and click on the "save" button.
  3. Click on the Mission Trip area to add the name and dates for the trip.  This area also has an option of adding an image.
  4. Click on the "save" button.
  5. Click on the link to edit the text in the "Advanced Text Editor" area of the page.
  6. There are five other areas (Staff position, Email Address  Phone Number, Address, and International Address) added to this page by default.  You can click on these areas to add information or you can delete them by clicking on the red "X"s in the upper right corner.
  7. You can add additional page elements or apps by clicking on the "+ Add Element" or "+ Add App" buttons at the bottom.
  8. Click the "Save Page" button at the bottom and check the box to make the page active.
  9. The trips you add to the list will have their own pages, but the titles are not added to the website's navigation menus by default.  Click on the "settings" button at the bottom and mark the box labeled "show as menu item" if you want a link to the ministry page to be included in the drop-down menus.
  10. Click the "Save Page" button at the bottom when you finish the page.

You can also upload a thumbnail image to be displayed with the name of the mission trip on the list.  Click on the "add image" link to upload the image.  There are four choices to select from for the shape of the image (square, portrait, landscape, and custom).  The first three options will crop the image to match the shape you selected.  The "custom" option will allow you to upload an image of any shape without the need to crop it.  If the image that is displayed on the page is larger than you'd like it to be you can use photo editing software to make a smaller version of it or you can use a free resource available online at www.shrinkpictures.com.

The page has a default format for arranging the mission trips on the page with the thumbnail images and a small amount of text from the each ministry page.  However, you can click on the "display settings" link to customize how the list is arranged.  There are three options available to select from under the "List View" category, or you can choose one of the four options under the "Grid View".  The list view will have one vertical list that includes the name of the mission trip and some of the text from the page.  The grid view does not include any text from the mission trip pages.
