If you are planning to attend any trip, here is what you need to do:

1. Complete the online Mission Trip Application, and submit a $25 application fee (payable online or by mail). The fee will be held until your application is accepted. In the event that the application is not accepted or the project is canceled, the fee will be returned. Once your application is accepted, you will be placed on the short-term team and the fee is non-refundable.

MISSION TRIP APPLICATION

2. Once you receive notification that your application has been accepted, we will send you an information packet. It contains all your trip information and there are a series of forms for you to complete. You will need to complete the forms that are in your packet as well as these two online forms:

HEALTH INFORMATION FORM

EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION FORM

3. Along with your information packet, we will send you a copy of the book Fields of the Fatherless by Tom Davis, and we ask that you read it before we leave on the trip. At the team planning meeting we'll discuss aspects of working with orphans, and this book is an excellent introduction to how we serve as the hands and feet of Christ when ministering to orphans. If you already own or have read Fields of the Fatherless, let us know in your mission trip application, and we will instead send you Tom Davis' new release, Red Letters: Living a Faith That Bleeds. It is full of personal challenges from God's Word, and will also bring up excellent discussion topics for the group.
