FAQ
How do I fund the missions trip?
We will coach you on the support-raising process to raise the necessary funds for your Mission Trip. You are not expected to pay this cost from your own personal funds. There are many believers who would want to donate for you to go on this Mission Trip to share Christ with the nations! We also have scholarship funding available, but in order to qualify you must have a reference regarding your personal support-raising efforts.
What about visas to international locations?
Your student visa must allow multiple entries into the United States. Please apply by the visa deadline to allow enough time for the visa process. After your application is approved, we will provide assistance in visa applications with our international partners. Participation is contingent on visa approval. Please reach out to the contact for the location you are interested in for specific visa questions.
