In consideration of my acceptance as a short-term missionary with Banah and any affiliates, and as a condition to my assignment, I hereby acknowledge and agree that:

1. My involvement and assignment as a missionary is voluntary and I am acting under my own free will.

2. I am aware of the hazards and risks, as well as the potential for hazards and risks that are not obvious or reasonably foreseeable at this time, to my person and property associated with serving as a missionary, including, but not being limited to, death, personal injury or property damage caused by accident, disease, war, terrorist acts, weather conditions, inadequate medical services and supplies, criminal activity, random acts of violence, or any other causes.  I further recognize that such risks have always been associated with missionary service. (2Corinthains 1:23-28).

3. I ACCEPT MY ASSIGNMENT WITH FULL AWARENESS OF THESE HAZARDS AND RISKS AND HERBY VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ANY AND ALL SUCH HAZARDS AND RISKS OF PARTICIPATING AND/OR VOLUNTEERING FOR THIS MISSION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND ANY OTHER DAMAGE OF WHATEVER NATURE AND CAUSE.  I expressly agree that this Assumption of Risk is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law.

4. I attest and certify that I have no medical conditions, physical limitations, or mental conditions or disabilities that would prevent me from performing my duties or affect my performance thereof.

5. Banah undertakes no direct legal or financial responsibility for my personal safety and well-being during my assignment as a missionary.

6. I am 100% liable for all expenses, including medical expenses, incurred as a result of any of the hazards or risks associated with my missionary assignment.

7. In the event that I have minor children who will accompany me on my assignment, I, acting both on my own behalf and as their parent and legal guardian, do hereby assume all risks of death, illness, injury, or property damage of whatever nature and cause that they may suffer during said assignment.

8. I FURTHER AGREE THAT I WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS BANAH FROM ANY AND ALL LOSS, LIABILITY, DAMAGE, OR COST OF WHATEVER NATURE AND CAUSE THAT THEY MAY INCUR AS THE RESULT OF MY ASSIGNMENT OR OCCURRING DURING THE TERM OF MY ASSIGNMENT.

9. I agree that I have received adequate consideration for this Agreement, and I expressly waive any defense to the enforcement of any provisions of this commitment arising from a claim of lack of consideration and warrant that this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation upon me enforceable against me in accordance with its term.

10. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with the law according to the jurisdiction of the State of Texas, which law shall govern this Agreement, the remaining provisions of the Agreement will not be invalidated and shall remain in full force and effect.

11. I WAIVE, RELEASE, AND DISCHARGE BANAH, THE CHURCH THAT I REPRESENT, OR ANY AGENT OR EMPLOYEE OF ANY SUCH ORGANIZATION FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, OR CAUSES OF ACTION FOR DAMAGE AND INJURY OF WHATEVER NATURE AND CAUSE WHICH I, MY HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, OR REPRESENTATIVES OR MY FAMILY MAY HAVE NOW OR IN THE FUTURE ARISING FROM MY ASSIGNMENT OR OCCURRING DURING THE TERM OF MY ASSIGNMENT.

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THE FOREGOING AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK, A RELEASE OF LIABILITY, AND A CONTRACT, AND I VOLUNTARILY SIGN THIS RELEASE AS MY OWN FREE ACT.
