Casas Global Outreach

Application for Non-Casas Applicant on a

Casas Short-Term Trip

 

 

 

Casas overflows with great joy to include people on our short-term trips who meet both Casas’ qualifications and their home church’s qualifications, who are approved by the Global Outreach Team, and whose ministry lives out Casas’ definition of global outreach: going outside our normal sphere of influence (culture, language, or nation) to share the message of Jesus, start new churches, and partner with existing churches to reach their communities, in Tucson and around the world.

 

Short-term missionaries commit to raising their own financial support for their trip. This application may be returned by e-mail, fax, US mail or hand-carried to the church office. This version was designed to be filled in on a computer; for a version with blanks to be filled in by hand, click here. The Policy for Non-Casas applicants is at http://www.gocasas.com/policy-noncasas.htm and the general Casas Short-Term Missionary Policy is available at www.GoCasas.com/policy-gt.htm.
