Notice – Upcoming Change to Mission Participation Fee, Effective May 2026:
Due to rising costs associated with international travel, missions scheduled for departure after May 1, 2026, will have an increased trip participation fee of $525 (up from the previous fee of $450). This adjustment will allow us to continue covering mission expenses such as hotel accommodations, meals, and travel health insurance for all volunteers, so that we can ensure that they are well-supported and cared for throughout their time participating in a mission.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Your involvement makes life-changing transformation and care possible for children and families around the world. If you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.
