What do I need to pack?

Before packing, please make sure you adhere to the airline requirements: Each bag may only be a maximum of 50 lbs and 62
linear inches (total length + width + height)

• Tag luggage with name and address in the event theyare lost.
• Bring clothes that are cool, light and require little maintenance. Remember it will be hot and humid.
• No camouflage clothing allowed
• Pack enough clothes to last the entire trip.Clothes used for ministry can be used more than once. Washer and dryer are not provided.
• Don’t bring your best, most favorite clothes.
• It’s a good idea to pack your clothes in a water proof bag (extra large zip lock bag).
• Bring shoes that can be worn every day. Make sure they are durable, comfortable and cool. It is recommended to bring 2 pairs of shoes.
• Slippers or shower shoes
• If possible, avoid bringing hair dryers, curlingirons, clothes irons and other large items. It not only takes up space, but adds to the weight of your suitcase. Check the power requirements for the country you are visiting to ensure they are compatible with the United States. For Honduras, Nicaragua and the Bahamas, the power requirements are compatible.
• It is a good idea to use a back pack instead of a purse. A purse is easier to misplace or for someone to pick up.
• Bible
• Notebook or journal
• 2 water/drinking bottles to be used throughout the week.
• Hats and sunglasses
• Flashlight, extra batteries
• Hand sanitizer, sunscreen and bug repellent. These are a must!
• A mosquito net is strongly advised for Honduras and Nicaragua
• If you are packing snacks, pack them in a Ziploc bag. This will help guard against the humidity and insects.
• Bring a camera and extra batteries/memory cards as you will want to document your trip and share with friends and family.
• A poncho or rain jacket. (It rains sporadically throughout the day)
• 2-3 bath towels and wash clothes (plan to leave in country)
