Mission Teams
Any mission team planning a trip should use the documents listed above
as a basic starting point in their planning. Mission teams should
have a number of team meetings to prepare themselves for a trip.

mission trips abroad, is available from:

Travel Agents
Travel costs are moderate, but airfare is the largest expense,
and that varies. Note: There are daily direct flights either
from Newark, NJ or New York, NY (JFK) airports to Prague (and on to
Bratislava) by Czech Airlines (an affiliate of Delta Airlines) who
connects you to a US location, www.czechairlines.com.
Some of the listed travel agents have agreements that can result in
lower costs. The following travel agencies claim to have
experience in travel to Czech Republic and Slovakia, and are
provided for your information only. They may be able to
provide you good information and reduced travel costs. I have
personally used Paul Laifer Tours several times, but have no
experience with the others.
