List of Trips

 

 

The actual activities for each trip will vary depending on participants involved and community needs.  The trips often require a fair amount of physical exercise and stamina.   Please take this into account when applying for an International Missions trip.  The Trip Leaders, as well as the Missions Staff are always available to talk to about any questions and/or concerns.

Information on Immunizations, Passports, and Insurance:

• If you are considering going on any of the trips, please apply for your passport now. It takes 1-3 months to receive your passport, and India also requires a visa that will take a couple of weeks to recieve, after you have your passport. 
• Westside applications and deposits for 2008 trips are generally due four months before the trip date. 
• Please click here for more information on purchasing insurance for your trip.
• You can check out required and recommended immunizations at wwwn.cdc.gov/travel and contact your physician or travel clinic for more information.
• If you don't have all the money you need for the trip right now, you can begin trying to earn more money in order to save up for the trip. Once your application is accepted, you can also start contacting people who could help you raise the funds and prayers you'll need for your trip.
