Process:
0. Find A Place To Serve: Before thinking about using your gifts abroad, you should find ways to use them locally, find a place to serve and learn what you love in ministry.
1. Get A Passport: We can not book a flight for you if you don't have a valid passport - valid means it has more than 6 months left before it expires on the date of the trip.
2. Apply: The application (and the $50 fee) is the one step that moves a person from 'thinking about a trip' to 'participating on a trip.' Filling out an application indicates to us that your'e ready to go!
3. Funding: Our team can help with fundraising strategies, but trips are expensive - the airlines don't care if we're doing good work or not!
Every Trip's Cost is (the cost of a flight) + (The On The Ground Cost We Pay our Partners). All of the payments are tax deductible and non-refundable.
Our Mexico trips tend to cost around $1,700.
We expect the Estonia trip to cost around $2,300
The Guatemala Trip and Spain trips cost around $1,800.
Michodan, Mexico will cost $2,500
We will give final numbers, according to the formula, during team training but planning for a $2,000 cost is a good target.
Payment Plans: Though we do help with fundraising, and we are open to agreeing on payment plans.
in order for us to book a flight, you must have either %50 of your trip balance paid, or have set up an automatic payment plan through the payment page.
4. Training: Training is a necessary part of each trip to help our teams understand the work, build rapport, and think through cross-cultural issues. Training schedules will be sent out to the teams once the application window is closed.
