Set an appointment with your local Travel Clinic: Ask the nurse for recommendations of immunization and medications based on your own health--check the CDC website as well for suggestions.
Funding your journey: There are so many ways to raise trips funds--both on your own and through the generosity of others. It IS biblical to raise funding for your mission trip. You will be doing God's work and it is a blessing for others to be involved in the process as well! They may not be able to GO, but they can and will GIVE! Pray about this part of the journey--watch how God moves and let the Holy Spirit work in ways not imaginable to you. Share your vision with others, do not be afraid to ASK. Take on projects, side jobs, all in the name of Christ and you will be blessed. If you run short on ideas, ask your team leader to pray with you and for suggestions.

"All Christians need to live by faith (2 Cor. 5:7, Heb. 11:6) regardless of how they receive their finances. The bottom line is that you need to be willing to do whatever it is the Lord asks you to do. Raising support is a matter of obedience to God's word and calling, not of following your feelings. If God calls you to go on this mission, then He will provide everything you need to fulfill your ministry, including emotional strength and perseverance (1 Thess. 5:24)."--The Journey Church
