HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST?

The cost is estimated at an amount between $1,500 and $1,750, depending on airfare costs.  This cost will include air transportation to Lima, ground transportation while in Lima, hotel, and meals.

(Updated Wednesday, 1/25/2012)  FBC Norman's Missions Committee has agreed to subsidize each participant's cost for this by $400.  This means that your final cost will be $400 less than the total.  That total is dependent on what I hear back from the airlines in the next few days.  In order to receive the $400 subsidy, each person will need to sign a document at our first meeting, Sunday, February 12.  In addition, if you need to apply to the Missions Committee for more than the $400 subsidy, up to half of the trip cost, you can feel free to do so by downloading this PDF, filling it out and then turning it into the church office.
