Avoid Critical Coverage Gaps

 

Determine if your current mission travel insurance covers these critical coverage gaps

 

 


Make Sure You’re Covered

Global Mission Protection

Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company® has developed a new program for international missions work.

Protect your foreign ministry operations with specialized foreign liability coverages backed by the services and support of leading global insurance services providers.

Kidnap & Ransom Coverage

International mission travel is rewarding, but have you thought about the potential for acts of violence, extortion, or express kidnap? As mission operations grow and thrive, the potential for being targeted increases. One incident can cost thousands. Protect your leaders and volunteers with a Kidnap & Ransom Policy.*
