Here is a tentative schedule to give you an idea. But please note it is subject to change.

Here are the minimum requirements.

1. Clear and unquestionable profession of faith.
2. A regular attendee at church
3. Attend all in-person training and meetings on Sunday afternoons unless they have a valid reason. Too many absences may result in removal of the participant.
4. Kairos Mission Course at own expense. This is a 30 hour course, hosted at CEACT in winter 2025. You are exempt if you have taken it previously.
5. Plan to Protect Training. This is a 3 hour course on safety and working with minors. This is mandatory unless you have taken it within the year.
6. A police check at own expense.
7. Ability to provide proof of medical insurance coverage. Credit card insurance is not acceptable

In addition, since there are limited spots available, candidates will be chosen based on the following assets:

1. Fluency in English
2. Fluency in Mandarin
3. Gift of teaching
4. Experience with elementary children
5. Gift of leadership
6. Athletic
7. Young with a desire to grow in their passion for missions

The cost is approximately $4000 based on the price of a direct flight at$2600 and gound cost at $1400. However, please note that we give a conservative estimate just in case. The actual cost might be lower than the expected cost. Using 2024 numbers as a reference, the flight (non-direct) was $2150 and ground cost was $1000.

Moreover, since we want to encourage you to go on missions, there will be subsidy for the trip. Here's a simple breakdown.

If you do not go on a side trip, you are eligible to receive between 20~55% subsidy depending on fundraising.

If you do go on a side trip, your airfare will be ineligible for subsidy and you can only expense the ground cost. Therefore you are eligible to receive between 12~25% subsidy depending on fundraising.

We will travel from Toronto to Taipei and back as a group. If you do not travel with us, it is considered a side trip.

Some examples of side trip:

1. Stay in Taiwan before or after the mission trip
2. Travel elsewhere before or after the mission trip

It is a wonderful thing to go on mission with the whole family!

If you have teenage children, they could apply independently to be a mission team member.

If you have elementary age children, they could potentially join the summer camp in Taiwan. However, please make this clear on your application form so we could have a discussion about it during interview.

If you have children under elementary age, unfortunately they cannot be part of the team in this trip. They could still come to Taiwan with you, but you will need to make separate arrangements for them without compromising your responsibilities as a team member.
