Join us soon to meet new friends from all over the world, see the most gorgeous places in our part of the world and hear educational, historical and spiritual talks about the Creator behind the beauty of His Creation. For 26 years I've organized and led Go West trips but never for any salary for my service. Many ask me, "Why?" I do it for the joy of serving you so that you can see the beauty of God's creation and experience His love. This year's trip includes favorite national parks like the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, St. Louis Arch and other gorgeous western scenery!
PURPOSE of INTERFACE & "Go West" TRIPS: As a non-profit organization in partnership with American families and churches, InterFACE Ministries, Inc. promotes goodwill and hospitality to int'l students and their families in the United States. "InterFACE" (Int'l Friendship, Activities & Cultural Exchange) conveys genuine openness in understanding and communicating Christ cross-culturally. InterFACE joins with American friends to provide better understanding among our various cultures & stimulate spiritual thinking. Just as computers need an interface to communicate, so does man, especially with his Creator.
TRIP REGISTRATION INFORMATION: The early bird deadline with $100 registration fee (part of $775) is due by 6/30 for 7/30/09-8/8/10 trip. Children's cost, age 5-15, is $575. Cost includes transportation, lodging, some food and some showers. Although we might enter some parks without cost, all national park entrance fees and sightseeing costs are your responsibility and can be purchased for $80 per group of 4 adults at first natl park or http://store.usgs.gov/pass/. Your $100 deposit (part of $775 total) is non-refundable unless you find someone else to take your place or unless we run out of room. First-come, first-served for first 35. Once received, your deposit completes the registration process on a "first come, first served basis." That means if others submit their deposit before you do and we have a full bus before your deposit arrives, you will be put on a "wait list" until someone cancels their reservation. It is not refundable unless you find someone to replace yourself or we run out of room. Final payment due by 7/15/09.
