COVID-19 and FOCUS Missions: 3/16/20
All Spring Break Mission Trips for 2020 are cancelled.
The first priority of FOCUS Missions is always the safety of our participants, staff, and those we serve. With all the changes taking place daily in our country due to COVID-19, we have decided it is not prudent to continue with the Spring Break missions as planned. We are currently evaluating the viability and safety of our Summer missions moving forward.
As you may be aware, the funds the participants worked hard to raise have been used over the last few months to secure travel, food, and lodging. We are checking to see which of the payments we made may be recouped; however, based on the policies of the travel vendors, we are not confident that they will return to us the overwhelming majority of those payments. We ask for your patience in this endeavor as it may take a number of weeks, even months, to have a clear picture of the financial situation.
We welcome your questions, but please know there may be a delay in our response due to the volume of calls and emails we have been receiving. Please be assured of the hard work that our team is putting into serving you all, and I ask for your patience as we move forward.
Please join us in praying for all those affected by COVID-19, and for the expedient end to this pandemic.
