Do you feel the tug on your heartstrings to go to Africa? Are you willing to step out of the comforts of the United States? Are you ready to be stretched and experience things you never imagined?
If so, here are a few things you'll need to know about GOYA Trips to get you started!
-Team members must be 18 or be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. -Team members must raise their own support ( GOYA will not raise it for you ). - You must either have a valid and up to date passport or in the process of getting one ( it must be in your possession 2 months prior to departure ). - The cost of trips will vary with the season and airline prices, but *usually* average around $2,600. ( With the rising cost of jet fuel this could go up ). - If you're ready to join a team, go to the Trip Sign-Up page and let us know. Then head over to the Trip Forms page and download the Trip Application. If you're really serious about going, send in your Trip Application and $50 reservation fee to save your spot, get connected with the Trip Leader and start on fundraising!
*GOYA Ministries is dedicated to sharing love, hope, peace, health, education and joy by helping and serving others through the love of Jesus Christ. While we do not require our team members to agree with our beliefs, we do ask that they respect them and fully understand that spiritual matters will be discussed on the trips.*
