Expenses

The cost per person for 7 days at El Ayudante is $600. This includes all transportation from arrival to departure, housing, food, filtered water, translators, and all the preparation and leadership for your week of ministry. Teams are responsible for their own airfare, immunizations, passports, travel insurance, and souvenir expenses, as well as project money.

“Project Money” is the funding that will cover your actual project or ministry expenses while in Honduras like construction materials, paint, water filters, etc. (This does not include additional supplies you will need to purchase and bring with you for VBS, Family Night, Women’s conference etc) We ask teams to provide $150-$200 per team member for project money. This amount allows your team to have plenty of projects to work on.

  • Airline tickets
  • Passport and immunization fees – as needed
  • Travel insurance (around $30 per person)
  • EA ground fee for the week – $600 per person
  • Project/ministry money – depending on your team’s projects ($150 – $200 per person)
