Our Commitment to Safety on Mission Trips
At Bold Hope, we believe that ensuring safety on mission trips is a foundational part of loving our volunteers and the communities we serve. Your well-being is our highest priority. We partner with trusted, long-term local leaders, we plan secure and reliable travel, and we provide 24/7 in-country staff support so you can serve with peace of mind. Our team constantly monitors health advisories, weather, and political updates to keep your team safe before, during, and after your trip.
Practical Mission Trip Safety Tips for Every Volunteer
While we handle the big picture, personal responsibility is also key to a safe trip. We provide detailed packing lists and pre-trip training that includes crucial mission trip safety tips. These include guidelines on dressing appropriately for the culture, keeping valuables secure, always traveling with your team, and staying aware of your surroundings. A critical rule is to always listen to your team leaders and local staff—their knowledge is invaluable. We also advise carrying emergency contact information and always staying hydrated.
Balancing God’s Protection and Wise Preparation
We encourage teams to pray for safety, wisdom, and discernment throughout their journey. We trust God to go before us, and we also believe in doing our part to serve smart and make wise decisions. This commitment to travel safety on missions is not about fear; it's about being good stewards of the people and opportunities God has entrusted to us. A safe team is an effective team, free to focus on the ministry at hand.
