Simple answer is NO! Many of our trips are geared towards families and first time goers. We work very diligently to make it an easy step to take but also for God to work through you and in you during the trip.

All of our trips vary in price and are subsidized by Doxology. Many times when people see a price for a trip, they often think, "I could never pay for that!" and they give up all together on going even if they feel like they should go. We believe that our God will provide the money through support raising. During your first training, we walk you through a simple but very effective way of support raising. We have helped teams raise money in the past and have never had someone NOT go because of money, if they followed our plan. You are also welcome to pay out of pocket if you would like.

Guatemala:
We stay in a beautiful gated complex that overlooks the city. It has multiple lodging areas with multiple private rooms as well as large rooms with multiple beds in them.

Global Gates:
We stay in apartments, some will have beds, some air mattresses and maybe a few on the couch.

While there is always an assumed risk of going and doing, we work closely with our partners who live on the ground to make the trip as safe as possible. We also watch and obey both domestic and foreign travel regulations and will not send anyone if Doxology deems it unsafe.  

We get everyone home ASAP. All of our international trips include emergency evacuation and hospital insurance in case something were to happen.  You will be notified as soon as possible if something happens to your child or spouse. A good rule of thumb is “no news is good news” if you are worried about someone's safety.

If for some reason a trip is cancelled by Doxology after support raising has begun, we will ask you to fill out a scholarship application for a future trip. If you cancel on the trip, we ask that you cover the expenses that have been made on your behalf.
