New application fee introduced...

Upon the recommendation of IAM's Adhoc Advisory Committee, this years M2M 2010 will ask it's applicants to accompany their application with a refundable fee of $50.00. This is not the usual way of handling application fees. In this case, applicants will be refunded their $50.00 fee upon their successful completion of the process. In other words, when the missionary arrives at the event they will be refunded their money. Unsuccessful applicants are those who withdrew their application after they had been selected for reasons such as being unable to come up with their transportation costs, change of plans, etc. However, consideration for refund will be given to unsuccessful applicants who can prove a family death or health reasons which prohibits them from attending M2M. Also, if an applicant is declined by the M2M committee, they too will be refunded their full application fee.

The refund of the application fee to successful applicants is unusual but it falls in line with our hearts desire to keep the expense of this experience as low as possible for the missionary. Also, it helps filter out non-serious applicants thus improving our capability to administer the selection process. We use a rule of thumb, first come - first served, but we hold the right to be flexible on that rule at our own discretion. For example a missionary who has been in the field for 10 years without a break, and one who is in missions for three years.

Mission to Missionaries events depend on generous donations from churches, organizations, and individuals to pay for the operational expenses i.e. event activities, food and accommodations. Ninety days prior to the event start date, donations for the event will be calculated and the number of attendees we can invite will be determined. The minimum number of attendees for any one event will be fifteen (15).
