MISSION TRIP FAQS

There are many ways to choose which trip is best for you. You may feel a connection to a certain area; a place you've studied, visited before, or a specific culture or people group that God has put on your heart. Ultimately, we ask that you pray and ask God for discernment and confirmation as you consider this faith journey.
Each day participants will partner with local believers in their neighborhoods to build relationships with people through community transformation projects, and help bring the love and message of Jesus to that location. You will definitely receive more than you give! For more detailed trip specific information, click on the individual trip you are prayerfully considering.
Every trip has different opportunities and challenges so each person's ability to participate is handled on a case by case basis.
The majority of trips last anywhere from 7 to 10 days.
Trip costs typically range from $1500-$3500. This includes your airfare, transportation, translators, meals in country, and housing. A $100 deposit fee is required once your application has been accepted and will be rolled into your trip balance. If you decide to have a meal or coffee at an airport, this will come from personal money unless otherwise specified by your trip leader. In addition, you may want to bring personal spending money as some countries have markets to buy souvenirs. These make great mementos to remember your trip by, as well as thoughtful gifts for some of your financial supporters.
Yes. Travelers insurance is supplied for trip participants. Typical coverage might include Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Medical Expenses, Emergency Medical Evacuation, Family Coordination & Repatriation, Assistance Services, Crisis Management Service, luggage, General Liability, Disability Income, etc.
Team sizes typically range from 5 to 15 and vary based on location.
In short, NO! While financial stewardship is extremely important in our walk with Christ, our Heavenly Father provides for the mission He calls His children to do. Your mission trip starts the moment you are accepted, which includes being trained in the support raising process. We believe you will see support raising as an incredible experience of God's provision because the God we serve is bigger than any number. Pray about which of the countries and ministries the Lord would have you serve and sign up!

Throughout this ministry you will function as part of a team. Your effectiveness is determined not just from an individual standpoint, but also as a team. Each person's ability to raise funds varies depending on who they know, how many people they know, their ability to communicate effectively, etc. Therefore, since the goal is to fund the entire team, any monies given beyond what you will need will go to support other team members who are behind on their fundraising goal.
