The information has been published and registration is open for the summer 2017 Saltshaker mission trip to Bhutan/India. Saltshaker 2017 will be one trip visiting both the mission fields in West Bengal, India and Bhutan. See details and basic Saltshaker 2017 Information, including the link to apply.
Saltshaker Bhutan/India – June 22-July 8, 2017
$4800 (exact cost still to be finalized)*
Required Orientation on June 22. Location TBA.
Application and deposits are due by February 15 (or until the teams are full).
*SPECIAL NOTE ON COST. All costs and dates are subject to change. Current estimated cost is $4800 (exact cost still to be finalized). This cost is more expensive than any Saltshaker we have had before but includes the added cost for the daily Bhutan tariff (4 nights = $1000 person), airfare (up to $2600/person), and then $1200/person for all other costs including orientation, all meals and transportation and lodging, and ministry and program expenses during our trip. I am visiting both mission fields on a prep trip in January and will know the final estimated cost for the summer trip by the end of January. I will be leading the Bhutan/India Saltshaker trip along with other adult leaders to be named.
Please share this information with the high school students, college students and young adults, and anyone else from your church that you think might be interested in representing EFC-MAYM for such a life-changing short-term missions experience.
