Has anyone taken a family short term mission trip?

[momofkhm]

I'd like to go with the family - youngest is 7. But when I search for family short term missions, the things that come up still seem to expect you to come as part of a group - as in the youth at the church are planning a mission trip and the whole family is invited. I want something where it is mostly families going so I'm not the only mom trying to keep an eye on a younger one.

Anyone? Websites would be great!

We did (went to the Phillipines for 3 weeks) but we organized it ourselves. In our case, my dh is from there and so we had family to arrange transportation, dates and housing. Do you know perhaps of a missionary family (maybe one you are supporting or your church is supporting) that might be able to use the services of your family? The tricky thing about that of course is actually being a help to them and not another burden (not that they would actually put it that way but you know what I mean).
