At OTW Global Missions, a priority is to keep you and your family safe during your mission trip. The Smart Travelers Enrollment Program (STEP) is a service from the State Department that allows travelers to register their upcoming trips. By enrolling, the State Department is aware of your travel plans and can reach you in case of an emergency. Our OTW team will handle the registration of participants and keep the State Department informed of your travel details.
