A Little Bit About the Trip

Who will be on the team?

The team will be led by Mark and Anna Haugen and a couple other Lift-Off volunteer staff. Participants need to be ages 16 and up. We are planning for a team of 20 people.

What is Freakfest?

Freakfest is an outdoor Christian music festival that is put on by a group of Christians called "JesusFreax". It is organized and run completely by Christian volunteers from the Czech Republic, Germany, and Poland. It is a small festival in its 3rd year. Last year, there were about 300 people in attendance. Our heart is to help serve in whatever way possible and to support the festival in prayer. Last year this involved setting up tents, doing security, and being a part of the prayer team.

What language is spoken?

The commonly spoken language is Czech. Many of the people will also speak English. We will have translators wherever we go, who will help us with conversing with people in public, ordering food in restaurants, and finding our way around the cities we stay in.

Do I need a Passport?

Yes! If you don't have one and want to come with us, you will need to get one. We can help you fill out your paperwork and apply.

Cost of the Trip

$2300/per person

The fee for the trip covers everything you will need for the 10 days: Airfare, meals, lodging, and transportation.

Deposit Needed

A $250 deposit is needed to reserve your seat on the plane by March 30th. You can make your check out to Lift-Off and put "Czech deposit" in the memo.

How do I raise the money to pay for the trip?

We encourage you to send out letters to family and friends asking for donations. You may also do your own fundraisers. Lift-Off will have some scholarships available. Do not let lack of money hold you back from going on the trip. God is our Provider! Let Him show you His miracle working power.
