It is our policy to allow a team member to make their own travel arrangements (not use our travel agent) only for one of the following cases:

1. You are traveling to the host country from outside of the US or from Canada;
2. You have an Airline "Buddy Pass" with another team member and the airline will only allow you to use it if you make the reservation with them directly;
3. You are using Frequent Flyer Miles; or
4. You are authorized to use an Airline Employee Discount.

If you qualify for one of the above, you must also understand that you will be responsible to get all the way to the host city (sometimes you may have to pay a connection fee in the host country) and be at the airport or hotel in the city where we are ministering at the time the rest of the team is arriving. If you are not at the airport during the time the other team members arrive, you will be responsible to connect up with the rest of the team and pay all costs associated with making this connection. If there are any internal flights, you will also be responsible to make these arrangements. Please contact the office for the TOTO (Travel On Their Own) price for your trip.

Yes. Tax deductible donations can be made on your behalf up to the date the trip departs.

DONATION POLICY

Tax deductible donations can be applied towards your trip. All donations are non-refundable. Donations can be made online or in the form of checks. Please have donors include your name and trip by attaching a note. It is very important that the memo line is left blank. Donation receipts will be mailed at the end of the year for over $50.

As you raise support, please notify donors that all donations will go to Global Awakening and are non-refundable. Global Awakening will always attempt to apply donations in the manner requested and directed by the donor. Instances where donations would go to Global Awakening and applied at our discretion, would include, but not limited to: receiving donations after the trip commencement date, receiving donations exceeding the trip balance, or cancellation of the individual’s trip. A one-time transfer of funds may apply for individuals transferring to a trip within 6 months of the original trip. A $50 transfer fee will be applied.

If you do not have a passport you may need to pay for expedited processing. Due to recent changes in the law, processing time for passports can be extremely slow. All USA team members are required to have a valid passport good for 6 MONTHS BEYOND YOUR RETURN TRIP DATE. If you do not have a valid passport, please expedite. Application forms to apply for a passport are available at post offices. Currently, United States passports are valid for 10 years. You will need your passport BEFORE you can apply for your visa (if needed). If you need to expedite your passport, call Swift Passport Services at 1-877- 917-9438. They can also get a VISA. For more information on applying for a US passport, see:
