Bosnia Short-term Missions Trip

APPLICATION - 2024

Applications for this trip will be received until October 1st.

Purpose:

To serve our Alliance Global Partners and other Alliance international workers at their Field Forum (yearly conference) in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Some members of our team will serve by spending time with the children of our Alliance workers. This is a great opportunity to be a blessing to our Alliance international workers, building our partnership with them and ministering to their children who face their own challenges living on the mission field. Other members of our team will serve by leading worship.

Dates:

Approximately April 22- May 2, 2023 (Field Forum is from April 27-May 1. It is possible that we will plan some days of ministry before the conference. These dates will be solidified before the first payment is due.)

Cost:

You can expect this trip to cost approximately $2700 per person (estimated $1700 air fare + $1000 in-country costs, this estimate is based on previous trip costs, the actual amount of this trip is to be determined). The church will be invited to give toward individuals going on this trip but team members are responsible to cover their own cost and are encouraged to raise support through personal fund-raising.

Deadlines:

    • October 1st - Applications are due

    • October  5th - The team is selected

    • December 1st - First half of airfare due (approx. $850)

    • January 1st - Second half of airfare due (approx. $850) plane tickets are purchased

    • February 1st - In country costs are due (approx. $1,000)

Please keep in mind that mission trips require flexibility and it is possible that our purpose may change or be adjusted.

Applications will be prayerfully considered and the team will be formed considering size limits on the field, team cohesiveness, and the field’s needs.
