Yes, a passport is needed to travel to all Back2Back sites. Additionally, tourist visas are necessary for travel to India and Nigeria.

Healthy, balanced meals are provided, and authentic meals prepared by in-country staff are also available.  In some instances, teams will have opportunities to enjoy local, or American, cuisine at restaurants. We also provide safe drinking water at all times.

To ensure safety, and for your convenience, we always travel by chartered buses or vans/staff vehicles.

During the day, teams serve in local communities, or in area children’s homes. We strive to create a balance of work projects and intentional play-time with the children.

Work projects are determined by the needs of a particular home or community, and may not be able to be predicted in a given week. Site staff works closely with in-country, national partners to determine the projects most important to meet the children’s needs. Projects will vary in terms of demand and skill level, and will be assigned to teams based on their abilities. There is something for everyone.

Absolutely! We intentionally include opportunities for teams to connect with the children through play. The children range in age from infant to early twenties, depending on where you are serving. Some children’s homes have dozens of children, some only have ten. The villages we serve have between 100-300 families.

The cost of a trip depends on your destination and the length of your trip.

Back2Back is a ministry centered on relationship by serving the “least of these.”  We desire and pray each child and family we serve comes to know Jesus as their personal Savior. As we focus on serving and building lasting relationships, we use this as a platform to share God’s love and His desire for us to know, and be known by, Him. We do not withhold services from any child or home based on religion. We serve all children alike regardless of their faith or creed and do not require any child to adhere to Christian faith to receive our services.

You do not need to know the predominant language of the country you are serving in. Back2Back believes communication is not solely verbal. Our body language and facial expressions go a long way in communicating interest, compassion, and engagement. There will be Back2Back staff present if translation is necessary, but we believe connection can truly begin with a smile.
