Code of Conduct

As a volunteer member of the ER ABROAD mission, it is expected that you will always conduct yourselves with the highest standards of integrity and morality. We believe that mission trips provide an opportunity for team members to grow in their faith and see all people with a high degree of love and respect. A mission trip provides fertile ground for a renewed perspective of service to others and a strengthening of your core values. Each host country has its own unique opportunities for the betterment of others and to flourish in your faith.

It is a privilege for all who serve on our mission trips, and there is an expectation that team members will conduct themselves with integrity and portray honesty, love, respect, and cooperation to those we encounter during our travels and upon our arrival to our host destination. We are guests, and we must act accordingly, including by being sensitive to our global partners and the people we are here to serve. Our mission is to improve and enrich the lives of others in need across the globe; you are part of that mission.

​

The following is intended to reflect our core values and provide guidance during a mission trip. As an ER ABROAD Missions team member, you are expected to:

 

  1. Provide a positive attitude, project a willing heart to serve, and maintain positive, respectful relationships with team members. Demonstrate your faith through loving action and reinforce all such behavior in others.

  2. Maintain ethical behavior and personal purity in thoughts, words, and actions. Avoiding distractions from wholehearted service by not using time of service overseas to develop or pursue a romantic relationship with any member of the team or person I meet within the country where I am serving. I understand that participating, or inviting others to participate, in any sexual act will result in immediate dismissal from the team and return home at my expense. 

  3. Travel to impoverished areas can present unexpected circumstances, despite great efforts to be fully prepared. Be patient and supportive while we work through any presenting issues.

  4. Make sure you have a buddy or someone who knows where you are always. You should never leave the group or wander off alone at any time while on the mission trip.

  5. Please remember that we are guests working at the invitation of our hosts. Refrain from criticizing, complaining, or making any comments related to personal preferences, food, accommodations, etc. Always demonstrate respect for the region’s culture, religious preferences, and political views. Act with sensitivity, tolerance, respect, and impartiality toward others.

  6. Demonstrate a flexible attitude and a willingness to work as a team, placing your own personal wants aside to be a valuable team member and a servant to those in need in our host country. Offer to help others and be willing to ask for help whenever needed. Also, the ER ABROAD staff is there to help support you and others whenever possible; simply ask for help.

  7. As a team, we stay together, including leaving in the mornings at the same time and working and supporting one another throughout the day and the night, if needed. Some unique situations may arise and will be communicated accordingly. Be mindful to ask others who may need help, a break, a meal, a hug, or a prayer.

  8. We travel with both medical and non-medical volunteers, all of whom fulfill an important and vital role to the overall team and the mission experience.

  9. Provide care and use reason in caring for all medical supplies and equipment.

  10. If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them directly with an ER ABROAD staff member as soon as possible. He or she will then determine the best way in which to address the issue. Please refrain from discussing with others while the issue is being resolved. We are there to support the team and facilitate a positive experience.

  11. Abstain from the use of tobacco, tobacco products, drugs, excessive alcohol intake, and from using inappropriate, derogatory, or foul language.

  12. Take time to appreciate the blessings of being on such an extraordinary trip with exemplary professionals with a heart for mission work. This is such a rare opportunity that is truly transformative in countless, deeply meaningful ways. Seeds are planted, hope grows, and love endures. You will not return the same as when you first started the journey.

  13. Once you return from the trip, share your experience with others.

 

I have read and understand, the ER ABROAD Mission Trip Code of Conduct Agreement and I agree to conduct myself in a like manner. I understand that by not following this code of conduct I may be denied the opportunity to serve on a mission trip or, in extreme cases, I understand that I could be sent home from a mission trip at the discretion of the ER ABROAD Trip Leaders at my expense.
