Short-Term Teams Price Breakdown
We at SM International aim to give you the highest quality mission trip at the lowest cost possible. We've compared these costs with other mission organizations and tour packages and are striving to help you gain the best experience available at a very reasonable price.
Our GOAL is to effectually use the latest training methods so that you gain confidence in sharing your faith daily, understanding unceasing prayer, fasting, spiritual warfare prayer, and seeing the hand of God work in miraculous ways. "Things that may seem impossible with men are possible with God." Daily we learn what it means to be a Commission-minded Christian (Mark 16:15-20) . We become involved in "pioneer church-planting", that you get to assist in beginning a "church' where none has been before. As Paul said, "Far be it that I would build on someone else's foundation."
We have an assortment of trips which range from 11-days, 2 weeks, 1 month, less than 3 months, to over 1 year. Over the 3 month plan a "missionary" Visa will need to be applied for. We are excited that many of our short-termers are returning to follow-up on earlier trips and to help encourage the infant churches that have been previously planted.
Here is a typical breakdown of a 11-day Short-Term Trip to Japan. Prices are based on projected costs for 2008 as fuel costs are increasisng, air fares are increasing, etc. [all amounts in U. S. currency]

_________________________
Total Per Person $ 3610
*For groups of 10 or more a $100 reduction will be given to each person. We also give a tithe to the pioneer churches we help to establish and assist them beyond that with costs of Bibles, study materials, tracts, etc. Pioneer churches are totally dependent upon us to help them get established, as most are new converts and do not understand the "offering" concept often expected in churches in the U. S. It takes some time to disciple the new converts and entails travel and expenses for those involved locally in Japan.
**Most SM Intl. hourly rates for leading the trips range about $35 per hour.
