Additional Resources

Support Raising Processes

We understand and appreciate that service team members are often times raising funds to participate in these trips.  In order to do so, we’d like to give you a few recommended support raising books to help in the process.

People Raising: A Practical Guide to Raising Support (Dillon, William): Order Here

Funding Your Ministry (Morton, Scott): Order Here

In addition, please feel free to hold additional fundraisers you think would be beneficial during your support raising process.

You may use any of our Kids Alive videos posted on our You Tube page to help with your fundraising efforts.  Please Click Here to access our videos.

Travel Insurance

Check the insurance policy that you are currently covered under. If you need accident and health coverage outside the USA, or wish to purchase additional travel insurance, you may enroll in a temporary insurance package specifically for short-term service. We are partnering with MissionTripInsurance.com to offer two different plans to our teams: www.missiontripinsurance.com/kids-alive/

If you decide to purchase temporary insurance through another provider, be sure that it will cover you overseas.

It is required that every Kids Alive Short-term Missionary and Service Team Participant have health and accident insurance.

Passports

Passports are required to enter all of our locations around the world.  Please make sure that you have a passport, and/or apply for one in a timely manner prior to your trip.

Please Click Here for more information on how to obtain a US passport.

Immunizations

Kids Alive encourages team members to use the CDC’s website and collaboration with their physician’s recommendations in order to determine what immunizations are necessary for upcoming travel.  Please note that many immunizations may be available at your local health department for a reduced rate.
