We currently do not have any scheduled trips planned. We do however continue to pray for the funds to complete the Lighthouse Cafe, a ministry center/coffee shop in the center of our town. We need only $10k to fully finish and open the facility to the public, thank you for your consideration! You can donate using this site-

Short Term Trips and Visitor Information:
Outreach Application Form PDF (you may have your own, that’s fine, but we still need to know WHO is coming for medical and emergency contact info)
Travel Baggage Info Click Here for allowances (they actually let you check luggage slightly larger, so it’s not exact, however weight is exact).
Helpful Tip: wear ‘customs friendly’ clothing and shoes. The less you have to take off and put back on the faster the group can move. If you have a metal plate in your head, you can leave it.
