Mission
Travel, Goodwill & Safety
The need for a helping hand
is seen throughout the world. Due to natural
disasters or economic and social hardships, people
suddenly find themselves in dire situations. As a
result, many religious congregations find themselves
called upon to provide what they can to help those who
are in need. Their missions often focus on those
living within their own community. However,
sometimes they wish to purse world-wide missions to
provide aid on a much larger scale.
The good
news: People care and are willing to rise to the
occasion in an attempt to help others in
need.
The challenge: How do we keep church
members adequately insured and protected while serving
on humanitarian and mission trips?
Things to
consider:
- Have you contacted your insurance
provider to discuss necessary and available coverage
options for such projects?
- Do participants have proper international
travel paperwork?
- Do participants have proper immunization
and medical clearance?
- Have you acquired necessary waivers, etc.
from all participants?
Please remember to allow ample time to
establish proper coverage, safeguards and guidelines
prior to a departure date.
At Church Underwriters, we have access to
GuideOne’s MissionGuard International Travel Coverage
