Mission Trip FAQ
Who is eligible to go on a mission trip?
Anyone 16 years and older who is medically fit to travel and has cleared an ACF background check is eligible to join us on a mission trip. Children younger than 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, family member or an appointed guardian.
Do I need a passport and immunizations?
All people traveling with ACF must have a legal US passport 30 days prior to departure. The passport must also be valid for 6 months beyond the return date of the trip. At this time no immunizations are required to travel to any of the countries we serve. We do suggest that you visit your personal physician for personal recommendations and also visit the Center of Disease Control website for additional information.
What if I have medical restrictions?
Traveling abroad can be a workout. All persons traveling with ACF must be of sound physical health and have any physical limitations noted on the Mission Trip application. Another Child Foundation recommends that all trip participants have a physical before traveling overseas.
Is it safe where we are traveling?
Some amount of risk always exists when you choose to travel overseas. We take every precaution to ensure the safest trip possible. We consult state travel advisories and in-country ground staff, train the trip participants to be cautious, and pray for God’s wisdom and guidance.
