Dates: May 17-30, 2027

Ministry Work:
Number Needed: Max 4 total (up 2 vets, max 2 tech/students). Non-vets are allowed. Children are not allowed.
Cost: $1,870 (not including international airfare). This does NOT include an optional safari if you want to take part in that with the team. Additionally, you will need to purchase a visa before traveling ($100 for US citizens) and new required insurance through Tanzania ($50); Volunteers age 70+ will need to purchase their own insurance outside of CVM. For this reason, these volunteers will see a slight decrease in the CVM trip cost. Students can apply to receive up to a 50% off scholarship and another $400 if approved for this trip!
Additional Details: CVM long-term field workers Dr. Lena and Patrick Wensel will be hosting the team. Join us in supporting rural indigenous pastors in an Unreached People Group and a local partner, Meru Animal Welfare Organization. Lodging will be in guesthouses/ lodge. There will be an opportunity for a safari, time around Arusha town and at an English/Swahili church. Please note that the cost above does not include a safari or international airfare. The actual ministry dates of the trip will be approximately May 18-27, 2027. Those wishing to do a safari will have two separate possible options after May 27. The cost of the safari will be communicated once we know individual preferences.
