1 1 overview Pre-Trip Preparation A little front-end preparation will ensure that your travel experience is maximized. Using the materials in our World Vision Orientation Packet and participating in the pre-departure group conference call will help ensure you are adequately prepared for a life-changing experience. Welcome Dinner The Vision Trip will offi cially kick off with a welcome dinner hosted by World Vision. Orientation During this two-day orientation you will learn more about HIV and AIDS and its impact in Africa; hear from World Vision staff; explore examples of how U.S. churches can make a positive difference; and pray for our brothers and sisters on the front lines of the pandemic. On-Site Project Visit At the conclusion of the orientation, participants will form small teams for a four-day visit to a World Vision project area. In addition to observing a range of community-based ministry projects, participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussion with local pastors and worship in local churches. Debrief Under the direction of World Vision staff, participants will refl ect on their experience prior to returning home and discuss concrete opportunities for future involvement. Stateside Involvement The ultimate goal of each Pastors Vision Trip is to stimulate tangible U.S. church involvement on behalf of children, families, and communities impacted by HIV/AIDS. Each trip participant will be asked to: 1) Sponsor a child and promote sponsorship in their congregation; 2) Engage their congregation in a one-time project to help AIDS-impacted children; or 3) Consider partnering in a three-year project to help turn the tide on HIV and AIDS in a specifi c African community.

2 2 FAQs Why should I consider a Pastors Vision Trip? World Vision has been offering guided Vision Trips to select donors and partner churches for several years. For a busy senior pastor, this is an unparalleled opportunity to personally connect with children, communities, and churches impacted by the AIDS pandemic. Where will I be staying? Accommodations will consist of a variety of safe, clean, locally run hotels and guest houses. Who are my trip guides? Experienced World Vision staff lead project visits. Their goal is to ensure that you have the best travel experience possible. How will I get to Africa and back? You are responsible for booking and purchasing your own airfare between the U.S. or other location of departure and Africa. World Vision Travel Services ( ) is available to assist you in booking your fl ight. You are also free to use your own agent. What about transportation in Africa? At the conclusion of the orientation, the group will divide into smaller teams to visit World Vision project areas in selected countries. You will be transported to/from project areas by plane, bus, and/or van, depending on the country you are visiting. All in-country transportation while on the Pastors Vision Trip is included in the trip price. Will there be time for sightseeing? Although it won t be a major focus, we will incorporate some time for sightseeing and shopping. For those interested in seeing more of the tourist sights than are offered on this trip, we recommend remaining in the country for a few additional days at the conclusion of the trip. Is C2C connecting me with a single congregation in Africa? Each World Vision project is typically done in partnership with a wide range of local pastors, churches, leaders, and organizations in the project community. Our goal is to bring together all churches in the community to help foster Christian unity. By encouraging relationships between U.S. churches and a diverse group of churches within the project as opposed to one-to-one partnerships between individual churches World Vision fi eld staff can encourage healthy relationships that benefi t children, communities, and local churches, and avoid causing unintended jealousies that can divide communities. I m not a senior pastor. Can I still attend? Given the critical nature of the AIDS pandemic, it is essential that the church vision caster (typically the senior pastor) be one of the two leaders per church going on the Vision Trip. If you are an associate/youth pastor or a lay leader, we encourage you to invite your senior pastor and travel together to Africa.
