About how much does it cost to go on a short term mission trip?

Group of 4
·      Total $3440.  This is $860 per person for a week (Saturday-Saturday)

Group of 5
·      Total $3760.  This is $753 per person for a week (Saturday-Saturday)

Group of 6
·      Total $4140.  This is $690 per person for a week (Saturday-Saturday)

Group of 7
·      Total $4550.  This is $650 per person for a week (Saturday-Saturday)

Group of 8
·      Total $4960.  This is $620 per person for a week (Saturday-Saturday)

What this would pay for: the materials cost for the filters, rental car, gas, food, and lodging.

What this does not pay for: plane ticket, souvenirs, snacks that you might want to buy during

the day, insurance, and the dinner in San Pedro Sula the last night before the group leaves the

next day.

All of these numbers are based on the group renting one vehicle and staying in the hotel in San

Pedro Sula one night.  If these were to change, the prices would also change.

Do you have an example trip itinerary?

Saturday to Saturday

Saturday – Arrive in San Pedro Sula and drive up to the mountains. Eat supper in the

Mountains, have a devotional, and go to sleep.

Sunday – Wake up, see the work site/Joel’s house.  Short tour of El Paraiso, go to church from 7:00-9:00 at night. Church in the morning is usually just a small devotional and then a meeting.

Monday – Build filters

Tuesday – Build filters and wash sand

Wednesday – Install filters in remote villages and wash sand if needed for the next day

Thursday – Install filters in remote villages. Small home group meeting with people from church

Friday – Return to San Pedro by 10:30am and go to the market in the afternoon

Saturday – Depart from Honduras and return home

If the trip is one or two days less, then a filter building day, installing day, or both would be cut.  Of course, if a trip is Sunday – Saturday or Monday – Saturday, there would be no church service.  Trips can begin or end any day of the week if it fits the team’s schedule better.

How long is a short term mission trip?

A mission trip to Honduras lasts 5-8 days.  To experience all aspects of the project, the trip must be at least 5 days.

What are the accommodations for a short term mission trip?

Teams stay in the Hotel America which is located in the center of El Paraiso and is only about 3 blocks from Joel’s house.  The hotel is secure and team members share rooms.  Each room has separate bathrooms with showers as well as beautiful views of the mountains.

How many people are on a short term mission trip team?

Teams consist of 4-8 members.  We are currently not able to house/handle more than 8 people because of housing/truck space.  The minimum is 4 people because of the amount of work we need to get done.

What type of work is done on a short term mission trip to Honduras?

A trip to support His Hands is hard work, but extremely fulfilling.  Days involve working with your hands, walking long distances, carrying heavy objects, and a lot of fun and laughter.

Which vaccines should I have before coming to Honduras?

We suggest that you visit the CDC website for Honduras for updated vaccine information:

CDC Information for Travelers to Honduras
