HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GO? The below prices include: 6 night hotel stay, all food costs and round-trip ground transportation. $505.00 -per person (double hotel room occupancy) $685.00 -per person (single hotel room occupancy) $960.00 -Family of 4 staying in the same room with one person paying for all trip expenses including lodging, food and transportation for the entire family. The line item cost break down is as follows: food 150.00 (25.00 per day), round-trip ground transportation 175.00 and hotel 60.00 per night. Sharing the cost of your hotel room with an additional occupant begins to drop the price from the single occupancy hotel room rate of 360.00 for the 6 night stay.

Yes. All persons who commit to going on the mission are required to raise a minimum of 500.00 each by Tuesday, May 15, 2012. The funds raised are used for facility rentals, food, sound and incidental written materials. Our events are now reaching upwards of 2,500 people throughout the week which requires pre-event planning and contractual deposits.
Note * Families consisting of 3 or more are only required to raise 500.00 per family.
IS THERE A DEADLINE IN ORDER TO RESERVE MY PLACE ON THE TRIP?
Yes. Because there are a limited number of seats in the vans and your hotel reservation needs to be booked 3 months in advance it is imperative that you submit an online 2012 Mission Application by Thursday, March 1, 2012.
NOW THAT I'VE DECIDED TO GO HOW DO I PREPARE?
In May we begin to meet and prepare as we worship, pray, and understand the different areas we will be individually and collectively serving in.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT TO COME BACK WITH WHEN I RETURN HOME?
This is a life changing trip! There are a number of ways that you will be impacted; a fresh perspective on the many blessings we take for granted at home, the fervent hunger the Hispanics have for the manifest Presence Of God as they worship, the poverty and desperation of the needy, and strengthened relationships with missions team members. |
