The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. [Luke 10:2]

Release and Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement

I hereby acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied to participate from time to time in missions and/or in missionary instruction or training, hereinafter referred to as "Missions". (Initial: ______)

I am aware that Missions may be hazardous, involving risk of serious bodily injury, death, or property damage and I am voluntarily participating in these Missions with knowledge of the risks. I expressly assume the risk of these dangers including, but not limited to, hostage situations, kidnappings or abductions, slips, falls, objects or persons falling on persons, equipment failure, injury from pointed equipment, high altitude sickness and/or injury, improperly administered first aid, lightning strikes, hypothermia, and/or drowning. (Initial: ______)

As lawful consideration for being permitted by the group engaging in these Missions or any of its missionaries, ministers, officers, agents, servants, volunteers, leaders, activity participants, or employees, herein referred to as Releasees, to participate in these Missions and/or use their equipment, the undersigned does for him/herself, his/her heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, guardians, distributees, and assigns, collectively referred to as Releasors, hereby release, waive, discharge, and relinquish any action or causes of action for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death which may hereafter arise from the Missions or any pursuit incidental thereto wherever or however said pursuit may occur and for any period said Missions and pursuits may continue. (Initial: ______)

The undersigned further agrees that under no circumstances will Releasors prosecute or present any claim against Releasees for any causes of action, for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death, whether the same shall arise by the negligence or non- intentional conduct of any of said Releasees from the Missions or any pursuit incidental thereto. (Initial: ______)

The undersigned and the remaining Releasors hereby agree to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Releasees and each of them from any loss, liability, damage or cost (including attorney fees) which Releasees may incur as a result of injury, death, or property damage to the undersigned, or from suit from such personal injury, death, and/or property damage to the undersigned. (Initial: ______)

This Agreement is intended to be as broad as is permissible under the law of the State of Barbados and this Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Barbados. (Initial: ______)

If any portion of this Agreement is invalid and/or is declared to be invalid by a Court of Law, it is agreed that the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. (Initial: ______)

Luke 9:23-24

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
