- The Fall 2021 Haiti Mission Trip is 10/23/2021 - 10/30/2021
- This trip will not be primarily a medical mission. So far, all the "regular" doctors are very busy this Fall. We plan to help World Wide Village with the sponsorships for the students at the schools. This trip will also focus on training and encouraging the Haitian pastors and leaders. We will still have prayer walks and other ministeries.
- The registration deadline is 08/09/2021. $100 fee due.
- The cost is approximately $1600 per person (Registered on time): ($1050 for WWV and $? for air ticket). The final cost depends on the cost of the flight.
