Trip contributions

Trips start at $100+ per day (minimum of 3 days) plus your transportation. Trip cost includes: lodging*, most meals*, Lifeline field guide, pre-trip training, local ministry operations donation; supporting services, background check, and a Lifeline t-shirt. A non-refundable deposit of $100 per person locks in your trip date.

Please note: Lifeline Christian Mission considers the contributions received for all trips to be tax-deductible; therefore this is non-refundable. Should you need to cancel your trip, trip contributions already sent to Lifeline may be used for a future trip with Lifeline or designated as a ministry donation.

Number of team members

We intentionally focus on smaller team sizes for a better overall trip experience for the goers as well as the receivers. 8-10 team members is the ideal size to allow the team to have a more personal experience as they interact with one another and with the community they are going to serve. A smaller team size also allows for deeper conversations and bonding experiences on the field. And this small size prevents the location we are visiting from being overwhelmed.

Trip length

 3-5 days

Documents needed

Online application, background check (provided by Lifeline) and a notarized parental consent form, if needed. On the trip, bring your health insurance card or a copy of the front and back of the card. If you live in Canada, contact your healthcare insurance company in advance to ensure that your personal healthcare insurance plan will cover medical care or emergencies while in the United States.

Age requirements

Team members must be at least 12 years old. All minors between the ages of 7-18 must be accompanied on the trip by an adult family member or by an adult who will be responsible for the minor’s well-being. In the case of the child’s parent not being on the trip, the parent must complete and submit a notarized parental consent form.

Register for your trip

After your Team Leader has confirmed the date for the team’s trip, you can get a direct link to the team member application from the Team Leader. The application is not on our website.
