“If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.” - Matthew 18:15-17

It is the intent of Global Awakening to follow the biblical patterns of discipline within the confines of all international ministry trips. Global Awakening ministry trips are attempting to open up countries to renewal and revival, often attracting spiritual warfare. 1 John 2:1 - “My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One.” The goal of Global Awakening is to create a safe, healthy environment, in order to minister to the people of the country visited.

We recognize that Ministry Team Members must be in correct relationship with God and with others, in order to ensure completion of mission objectives. The consequences of one’s sin or disobedience have the potential to bring confusion and destruction to any ministry trip. We desire to come alongside each Ministry Team Member in loving correction only when necessary. All compliance with any disciplinary action by Global Awakening is greatly appreciated.

The following are procedures that will be followed by Global Awakening leadership, if any disciplinary action is necessary. To avoid any misunderstanding, please read the outlined procedures below, sign the consent form, and return it to Global Awakening. By consenting to the following, you agree to receive correction, public rebuke and/or removal, if decided necessary by Global Awakening leadership. If issues of sin or disobedience come to light, rest assured, the steps below will be followed to bring resolution to the situation.

1. If you have a problem with any individual, you are to lovingly approach that person first, without going to any other Ministry Team Member. Attempt to bring understanding and resolution to the conflict. If it is with someone of the opposite sex, please talk with him or her in a place where others are present, but cannot hear your conversation. Many times what you may consider a problem is simply a misunderstanding and bringing it to their attention often brings resolution.

2. If you find no resolution after you have conversed with the individual, the individuals involved are required to discuss the problem with a Ministry Team Leader. The Ministry Team Leader should be able to determine what the problem is, who is at fault, and bring closure to the situation.

3. If the Ministry Team Leader discovers that there has been no closure to the situation, there will be another meeting with the parties involved, the Ministry Team Leader, and the Trip Coordinator in order to bring closure to the difficult situation.

4. If the Ministry Team Leader and Event Coordinator find any individual to be in rebellion to correction, a senior Global representative will be informed. A senior Global representative will bring definite closure to the situation, in which all parties will be present to hear the final conclusion of the matter. Possible conclusions may include an individual returning home within 24 hours or being brought before the whole Ministry Team for public correction. If absolutely necessary, the Ministry Team will be informed not to have any personal contact with the individual throughout the remainder of the trip. The individual will not be permitted to eat, sleep, or travel with any Ministry Team Member.

5. If any individual is involved in any sin that cannot, at the discretion of leadership, be taken care of in a timely manner or would affect the team in an adverse way, leadership reserves the right to put procedure (4) into action immediately.

By signing below, I state that I have fully read and agreed to the statements above.

I hereby agree to the media release policy stated below and will abide by the terms as stated.

Global Awakening often takes photographs and video footage on ministry trips using them in Global Awakening advertising, promotional materials, web page, and publications. In signing below, you fully authorize Global Awakening to use video or photographs taken of you in any or all of the above mentioned materials.

In addition, you agree to use the photographs you take on this mission trip for your own personal use. Photographs are not to be used for any publication, website, advertisement or any other means without the permission of Global Awakening. The exception to this is that the undersigned may use the photographs for showing to their personal church group and/or affiliation.

If you are not selected for a team, your deposit will be refunded in full. After your application has been processed, you may cancel up to the early bird deadline in order to receive a $150 refund of this deposit or you can move the total deposit to another trip date within 6 months of your scheduled trip for a $50 transfer fee. If for any reason, a team member cancels after the early bird deadline; the full deposit will be forfeited. Final payment must be received by the early bird deadline in order to avoid the $200 increased price. In addition, you will not be refunded monies that Global Awakening has paid out on your behalf to secure hotel, bus, and food service reservations. If for some reason you cancel your trip within 4 weeks of your departure date or after we have paid for your air flights, you will not be refunded for your ticket price. However, it is often the case that the ticket can be reused in the future plus a change fee ($300+). Also, you will forfeit your deposit. Any amount over and above the deposit, airline ticket, late cancellation fee, and reservations that are not donations will be refunded to you by check or credit card.

Please note deposit’s paid by someone other than you will not be refunded. Their payment is considered a donation.

If you choose to cancel because of the uncertainty of COVID-19, Global Awakening's cancellation policy still applies. If you cancel because you have COVID and can not recover before the trip, Global Awakening will refund any money you have personally paid minus any expenses that have already been paid on your behalf. You may also transfer to another upcoming trip. We may ask for medical documentation of COVID-19 results.
