Are you planning on going to Brazil on the Mission Trip?
If so, you will also need to apply for a Visa (However, we will address this in team meetings). The first step in this process is having a valid USA Passport, as you will send it to the Brazilian Consulate in Miami. This process is much faster. They process your visa in 12 days, however, this does not include transit time. To discover more information on this visit: http://www.brazilmiami.org/eng/index.php
Point of this post: If you are planning on going on an international mission trip this year, don't wait to apply for or renew your passport.
