This past week, a long-time friend (we’ll call him Daniel) wrote, “Our organization has begun to take more teams from different churches onto the mission field. She asked what type of comprehensive insurance and liability coverage we need to ensure our organization and our trip participants are adequately protected in case of unfortunate circumstances on the field such as injury, kidnapping, or sexual assault allegations. This coverage goes beyond the typical ‘trip insurance’ that participants secure for short-term mission projects. Do you have a perspective or resource we should look at to learn more? Thank you and keep up your great work!” Can we try to help Daniel out? What kind of insurance does your church or agency carry – and would you mind telling us the name of the carrier and/or contact information for an agent who might help others? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. Feel free to add additional comments if you have additional questions/answers along these lines. Bless you!
