Have you always wanted to travel for FREE?
Now is your chance! If you are a church or an individual who is interested in gathering a group of people for a trip, we can design the tour to include comps.
For instance, if you have 10 people who are paid you can get one FREE or we can do it so that for every 7(or 5) people we can do a comp. Here is the breakdown:
10 people pay for the trip=1 FREE traveler
7 people are paid=1 FREE travelA group of 21 who pay=3 people travel FREE
(based on 1 comp for every 7)
The less people you have per comp will drive the price for the trip higher. For instance a 1 comp per 5 people will be a higher priced trip than a 1 for 10 comps per person. Let us know if you can gather a group and we will work on a quote.

You can host conferences or retreats aboard cruise ships while you are traveling to exciting ports.
Although Faith-based travel would be the heart of your Christian Travel Ministry, there are many more events that can be included in this group:
• Showings of faith-based travel films & documentaries
• Bible studies before you leave on your journey to prepare your heart
• Sharing effective ways to use their recent travel experiences as an open door to share Christ with others
• Hosting internationally-themed food nights
• Reading books on Biblical & Christian heritage sites
Necessary Items in Traveling Abroad
When you are taking a trip to Israel, Greece, Europe or a cruise to anywhere you will need necessary items in traveling abroad. I thought I would do a short list of items you might consider taking in no particular order:
This is not an extensive but it does give you some guidelines on items you need to bring. Feel free to add additional items in the comment section.
