Directions for the application process:
1. Pray about God’s plan for the spring and summer and whether or not a mission journey might be a correct fit.
2. Read the journey information pages to determine which journeys you are eligible to apply for and check the tentative Mission Training Meeting schedule on btbf.org/studentmissions to make sure you can attend all the meetings.
3. Find your grade level at time of application and place a 1 next to your top choice. Place an x next to all other journeys you are available to go on. List a reason for any journey that you do not mark. Please be aware that only a small percentage of students will be able to receive their first choice.
4. Both parents with legal guardianship must sign the mission trip agreement form regardless of current mental status. We do accept fax signatures. Our fax number is 972-428-1383.
5. One parent must complete the Parent Reference form and the Agreement form and ensure that the notarized medical release form is on file. A Notary Public is available at the main church office during the week.
6. Student should complete his/her section of the application and read and agree to the Mission Journey Agreement form.
7. Determine the deposit amount required for student’s first choice journey and submit this with the application. Funds will be transferred to a different journey if necessary.
