You could pull together your own team of at least 15 (at least 12 of those must be age 13 or older) from your church, organization, campus, family, or friends. Other options include corporate team-building retreats, trips just for women, trips for fathers and sons, high school groups, college groups, etc.  The possibilities are endless.

Often times you can choose dates that work for you and your group — we’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule.  We do suggest at least 5-6 months of preparation to build your team and allow time for fundraising and preparation.

Most participants say, “Not long enough!” Typical trips last one week – one travel day to the location, four days of water filter distribution and ministry, one cultural day, and one travel day back home.

We currently have ministry bases in 11 countries – Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama.

Our model is wonderfully unique:

• Our local church partners prepare the neighborhoods and families your team will visit. 
• Trip participants are divided into small groups and paired with a translator and a representative from the church to visit homes.
• You’ll provide families with a water filter, and an opportunity to hear how much God loves them. We also provide New Testaments in their native language for your team to give to each family. 
• Our local church partners follow up with the families that your team visits, and disciple those who pray to receive Christ. Your team can have confidence that the ministry they are involved in during their trip is sustainable and continues long after they leave through the work of the local church. 

Your mornings and afternoons are spent connecting with families in our church partner’s neighborhood, getting to know them, providing them with a Filter of Hope water filter, and sharing the gospel. Evenings are spent connecting with your team about your experiences and how the Lord is working. There are always a few special surprises we try to throw in that allow your team to see and experience the local culture.  

We provide accommodations designed to allow you to rest and refuel:

• All housing is clean and secure in safe neighborhoods.
• Most bedrooms have air conditioning, unless lodging is at higher altitudes with cooler temps.
• The food is safely prepared, incredibly delicious, and dietary restrictions can be accommodated.  
• We supply plenty of filtered water to stay hydrated and use when brushing teeth.

We pride ourselves on providing safe, fun, and life-changing 7-day mission trips at pricing anyone can afford: 

• All-inclusive in-country cost: $870
• Five (5) Filter of Hope water filters: $200
• Cultural Day: $50
• Airfare: Pricing varies

We even provide you with tools and tips to help you raise money for your trip.

Yes!  We’ll provide all the help you need to make this trip a success — we handle all the details.

• Your team will be assigned a coordinator who will walk you through each step of the process.
• We even send a Filter of Hope staff member with you and your team on your trip. 
• Our goal is to handle as many of the details and logistics for you as possible.

• Hundreds of people will have clean drinking water right in their own home – for the next 10 years!
• With the help of the Holy Spirit, many will come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
• Your team will grow close as you serve together, and will carry a new excitement for ministry back home with them.
• Your team will develop confidence in sharing their faith.
• Your team will learn from and be challenged by our local church partners.
• You can build leaders in your church, campus ministry, or organization.
  Oh, and you can bet your life will change, too!
