Mission Trips Overview & Tips

Dear Circle of Concern Friend,

Have you ever considered going on a mission trip? Then decided it is too risky, too much planning, too far, too much money? Put all of those nagging questions aside…Here is a mission trip that will provide you with an awesome ministry opportunity without any of the concerns.

Circle of Concern sponsors a short-term trip to Sayulita and beyond, Mexico, just 40 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. Sayulita is a small fishing village on a beautiful stretch of Mexico’s coastline (check out www.villaamor.com to see our accommodations and a peek at Sayulita or check our website for pictures of other trips on our website). In the past 23 trips in several villages, we have established the basis for a Christian Community and are now ready to continue building a ministry there.

. It is less than 3 hours by plane
. It is safe and no car is needed
. The temperature is in the 80’s
. The water is warm
. The people are friendly
. It is affordable

Why?
We do a Children's Program, medical, dental & vision clinics, repair houses of the poor and elderly, work in a local Orphanage and more… We need doctors, dentists, optometrists, painters, construction workers, translators, helpers with the children's program, musicians, and anyone else with a willing heart who wants to work and serve!

Cost:
We have purchased 50 airline tickets (26 already requested). You need to send your $100.00 deposit* now (with your application). Total trip cost is $935.00 and includes airfare, transportation, lodging at the Villa Amor on the beach, t-shirt, 4 breakfasts, dinner the night we arrive and the opportunity to serve the Lord in Mexico. You will need $100.00 (total) for the remaining meals and snacks. * Those who wish to make their own flight arrangements may join us for a trip cost of $535.

Please call me if you have any questions. If you are sure that you want to go, please send a $100.00 non-refundable deposit* now (checks payable to Circle of Concern). If you are not able to go, but would like to sponsor someone else in full or partially, please call or e-mail me and let me know.

Bless You,
George
