This information is provided for organizations whose leadership is contemplating training at their site for the purpose of establishing a sozo ministry or need additional training for an existing ministry.
If the travel time is over 6 to 8 hours, there will be the need to purchase airplane tickets for two teachers. The airplane tickets will be purchased for flying out of Redding, CA. Housing is expected for the two teachers and that requires two separate motel/hotel rooms. Meals will also be provided by the host church or organization.
Any Sozo team members who wish to travel with the leaders will be responsible for the cost of their airplane tickets.
If the travel time is less then 6 hours, the team will travel by private cars. The church or organization is responsible for cost of transportation.
Private housing and meals is requested for the Bethel sozo team in either situation. If there is a need for a maximum number of team members because of housing, please include that information on the travel request form. If the team flies, and the training are not at the same location where they are housed, transportation will need to be provided.
