How can contributions be made?
If writing a check, checks should be made payable to Cross Assembly. Per IRS regulations, team member names should NOT be written on the memo line. If at all possible, please include a payment coupon (given to team members at the first team meeting) with all check payments. Checks and cash may also be placed in a Cross Assembly giving envelope with the team member’s name and trip indicated.
Online contributions can be made through a team-specific giving link. The link will be given to team members for their use and for them to distribute to their donors.
Does Cross Assembly help fund short-term trips?
No, individual team members are responsible to contribute or raise funds for the entirety of their trip budget. Cross Assembly sends over 150 people a year on short-term trips, so individual funding for team members is not budgeted. By registering for the trip, an applicant commits to cover his or her expenses for the trip.
Will I need a passport?
YES! Your passport must be valid for at least six months after the trip’s return date. A color copy of your passport must be submitted to your team leader or the missions director. Complete passport information can be found travel.state.gov.
If you need to apply for or renew your passport, please consult the trip leader and begin that process as soon as possible.
Are extra immunizations needed for the trip?
Overall, please consult the CDC website and your physician and make a vaccination decision with which you are comfortable.
For more lesser-known vaccinations, you have options such as Passport Health, Rx Urgent Care, and Wake County Human Services. A quick Google search may also give other options. Please note that many vaccinations are not covered by standard health insurance coverage, so please research your insurance coverage, cost, and various providers so you are not caught off-guard.
What if I’m not a member of Cross Assembly?
If you are over the age of 18 and not a member, please contact the team leaders, David and Piby Rogel at [email protected] for special consideration.

What are the physical demands of this trip?
Please remember all international travel is physically demanding, and short-term teams are active every day of the trip.
