Disclaimer and Signature

The information in this application is confidential and will be carefully handled in accordance with the CBWC Privacy Policy. Relevant information in this application will be shared with Canadian Baptist Ministries to facilitate our experience in Guatemala.

I certify that my answers are true and complete to the best of my knowledge.

I recognize that Kurios is designed for people who earnestly desire to seek Jesus as Lord over all areas of life, and I accept that living in a Christian community brings both privileges and obligations. Therefore, as a Kurios participant, I am committed to the moral and spiritual values reflected in the Bible and through Christ. Through my relationship with Jesus, and through the workings of the Holy Spirit, I will seek to exhibit the Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal 5:22-23).

I agree that Kurios and the CBWC may use my picture or likeness in connection with any promotion, publicity, marketing or advertisement for Kurios.

I understand that prior to being admitted into Kurios I will provide additional documents (such as copies of passport, drivers license, signed liability waivers, etc) as requested.
