I will need financial and prayer support partners as I go overseas this summer. This page will let you know how you can become my support partner.

Expenses

The expense ($3990.00 U.S. plus Registration Fee) includes food, lodging, some surface travel in Canada and the U.S., team airfare, surface travel in foreign countries, printing of support packet and prayer cards, tents, administration, Boot Camp training, team/Debrief setup, give-aways, and recruitment/advertising. The Project Assignment Expense also includes an amount that enables Teen Missions to cover the cost for a third-world teen to serve on a Teen Missions team in his own country. On work teams, $100 per person is used to purchase building materials for the mission project.

Items not included in the Project Expense:

Personal expenses to be paid by team members and leaders include:

1. Meals and transportation to Boot Camp in Florida
2. Personal items, postage, and medical expenses
3. Spending and souvenir money
4. Passport, visa application, air taxes
5. Transportation home from team termination point.

Teen Missions Financial Support

Built into the cost of each TMI ministry is the amount necessary to pay for that program. In addition, Teen Missions is partially suported through general contributions, volunteer assistance, donated supplies, and a portion of the Project Assignment Expense for each team. Each department at Teen Missions is staffed by full-time personnel who raise their own prayer and financial support through churches and friends. Staff members also tithe to Teen Missions to help cover some of the operating costs of the ministry.

Leadership

At least four adult leaders serve on each team with the exception of the smaller specialized teams. Each leader or assistant is required to attend a Teen Missions Leader Training Seminar, complete homework, and provide six recommendations and criminal background check information.

How Adults Can Help?

Capable adult leaders for the U.S. teams is one of the greatest needs of Teen Missions. Adult volunteers are also needed to help operate Overseas Boot Camps, working with national youth from third-world countries. For additional information about how adults can be involved in the ministry, please request Teen Missions World of Opportunities brochure.

Governing Board
