The costs of AIM’s short term missions trips vary widely depending on the destination and the length of the trip. The average trip of 14 days to either East Africa or Russia will cost $1500 plus the cost of your plane ticket. (As of January 2007 typical airfare costs were $1300 to Kenya and $1000 to Russia). Since trips to South America, Mexico, Europe and other destinations are planned on an individual basis, the costs of such trips can be calculated only after the trip has reached the early planning stages.
