Why do some of the journeys have TBA or general dates?

We are in the process of setting specific dates, designating team leaders, and other details. We will update our JOURNEYS PAGE as soon as the information is available.

When is my application due?

Applications are due December 1st. All applications require a $50 non-refundable deposit in order for them to be officially processed by the Pursue Missions Office and to be placed on a team.

When is the money for the journey due?

After being accepted onto one of our teams you will receive a payment plan that clearly states when incremental payments are due.

What does the cost cover?

Journey costs cover transportation, lodging, food, and outreach expenses unless otherwise noted by your team leader. Journey costs do NOT cover food while traveling in airports, souvenirs, tips, and optional excursions.

What are the age restrictions for the trips?

In general, journeys are open to individuals 18 years and older. Children are allowed to travel if a parent accompanies them on certain journeys. Certain restrictions may apply to specific journeys.

Contact Pursue Missions for a list of family-friendly trips.

Must I have a passport in order to apply?

You do not have to have a passport in hand to apply for a journey, but you are required to submit it at least 4 months prior to the journey. We will give you all the information needed for you to apply for your passport. Please note that the cost of the journey does NOT include additional fees incurred when obtaining a passport.

Can I go on a mission journey if I live outside of Lubbock, TX?

Absolutely! We have several people outside of Lubbock who travel on Pursue Short-Term journeys every year. If you live outside of Lubbock, please note the following:

• Journey prices are based on travel from Lubbock. You will be expected to come to Lubbock at your own expense and travel from Lubbock with the team.

• You must attend our “Mission Ready Team Training” weekend in February.

Can I use my airline miles or book my own travel?

No - we work on getting group rates and pay as a group. Therefore, all travel details must go through the Pursue Missions Office. You are welcome to get airline miles for these journeys, but you cannot redeem your miles for these journeys.
