Missionaries can share advice and stories of past mission trips
Our friends at Mission of Mercy sent a medical team to Haiti. Our prayers are with them. Watch the interview on the local NBC television station.
If you are sending a medical, relief or mission team to Haiti, then we recommend purchasing our Day Tripper or International Provider group travel insurance which includes medical evacuation and repatriation. Get a travel medical insurance quote?
I have to admit that I have decorated my suitcases with colored duck tape and tied fabric to the handle so I can distinguish my black suitcases from the other luggage spinning around the baggage carousel. When leading a mission trip, I might need to identify our team’s luggage on the tarmack for security and immigration. The easier I can account for every one’s bags, the quicker we can maneuver airports and ground transportation. I came across Label Daddy which creates custom decals with your group’s name in many colors and sizes. They are not cheap, but I’m sure there are less expensive alternatives which provide an easy way to distinguish your suitcases and hopefully prevent a lost bag.
