Puerto Rico is still reeling from the catastrophic hurricane that ripped the island in half nearly a year ago. CRI is deploying three more waves of Responders this fall. Our focus will be on building relationships, work projects, making disciples and spreading the love of Jesus and helping people any way we can. Our teams have reported that they have never seen so much of God's favor and hunger among the people. Come volunteer and see lives rebuilt on the Kingdom of God!
WAVE 14: OCTOBER 21-29 WITH OPTION FOR EXTENDED STAY RETURNING NOVEMBER 5TH (THIS WAVE WILL BE LEAVING DIRECTLY FROM THE ATS LOCATION.)
WAVE 15: NOVEMBER 10-19
WAVE 16: DECEMBER 1-10
Personal Fundraising Through CRI
You may also fundraise for your deployment through CRI. Simply click this link and fill out the form. Follow the few easy steps and you will create a personal fundraising campaign that can be used through text, email, and social media. 100% of what comes in (less credit card fees) will be applied to your deployment fee. DO NOT BEGIN FUNDRAISING FOR THIS TRIP UNLESS YOUR DEPOSIT IS PAID AND YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND CONTACTED BY THE DEPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT.
We encourage you to give others the opportunity to partner with you on this trip even if you have the funds to pay for it yourself!
Additional funds raised can be directed to cover the cost of the flight from your originating city as well but flight must be arranged and purchased by CRI Deployment Department on your behalf. Due to IRS rules, we cannot reimburse you if you purchase the flight yourself nor can they be released back to you to cover any personal expenses. Any funds raised beyond your deployment fee, originating flight or if you cancel your trip, will be held in a deployment account for you for a future deployment or can be donated to that relief fund or another Responder.
All deployment fees are tax-deductible.
Flight Arrangements
Your airfare to and from Puerto Rico will be arranged and purchased by the CRI Deployment Department.
ONCE YOU ARE APPROVED FOR THIS DEPLOYMENT, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY THE CRI DEPLOYMENT COORDINATOR TO GIVE YOU MORE TRAVEL DETAILS AND TO CONFIRM PURCHASE OF YOUR FLIGHTS.
DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR ORIGINATING FLIGHTS FROM YOUR HOME CITY AIRPORT UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY US. WE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO ENSURE A SMOOTH TRIP.
IF YOU INTEND ON FUNDRAISING FOR YOUR FLIGHTS ORIGINATING FROM YOUR HOME CITY TO THE DEPARTURE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT THEN PLEASE INDICATE IN THE PAYMENT AREA BELOW AND WE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO ARRANGE THAT FLIGHT AS WELL.
Once you are on the ground, you should be prepared for a hot tropical environment, with limited power, and little infrastructure in the places we will be providing relief and spiritual care. Our base camp accommodations have power, running water, showers etc. (CRI will provide your air mattress.)
Bring your shorts and flip-flops, work boots, work gloves, extra cash, a water bottle, personal items, electrolytes and any medications you may be taking.
Once you complete the registration, you will be sent an email with further information and our deployment department will be calling you.
God is doing amazing things in Puerto Rico as we try to meet the urgent needs and share the hope of Jesus Christ. Thank you for your desire to deploy with us!
Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
