Book Christian Travel | David Small, Fora Travel Advisor

Everyday travel bookings support a school in the jungles of Burma.

David Small is a Certified Fora Travel Advisor. He books the travel people already book — family vacations, work trips, and the flights and hotels that come with ordinary life. Regular everyday travel makes a big difference.

Groups and mission trips are welcome too. Imagine if the flights and hotels your missions group takes actually help support real-life missions in the field.

Besides being a travel advisor, David is the founder and director of Jungle Discipleship School (JDS), a 9-month discipleship program in the jungle war zone of Burma (Myanmar). Booking through David is still just booking travel. Advisor compensation from that work helps support the school. Hotels, airlines, and most other travel bookings set aside a commission for agents and advisors. Online booking sites like Booking.com or Expedia get paid by airlines and hotels and car rental companies. Booking travel through a Fora Advisor takes those commissions away from huge companies and puts it back in the pocket of travel advisors, like David, who care about you.

Every booking through David helps support a student at Jungle Discipleship School.

Questions

A few things people ask.

Why use a travel advisor instead of booking myself?

A travel advisor handles the logistics — hotels, transfers, tours, and the itinerary. Even if you already know the hotel, they book it so you get partner perks, elevated service, and VIP treatment you typically will not get on a do-it-yourself booking site. Most hotel bookings have no extra advisor fee; hotels pay a commission. For a complex multi-stop trip, there may be a planning fee. David will say that up front.

Will I still collect and redeem points?

Yes. You can generally still earn hotel loyalty points when you book through a Fora advisor, and you can still pay with your own card so you earn card points. Points redemptions and hotel VIP perks do not always stack the same way. David can tell you what works for that booking.

What is Jungle Discipleship School?

Jungle Discipleship School is a 9-month discipleship program — disciples making disciples. Booking travel with David helps support the school. junglediscipleshipschool.com

Do I need to pay more to use an advisor?

No. In fact, sometimes an advisor can find cheaper or hidden fares or rates. The difference is an advisor gets paid a commission directly from the travel partner, and they can advocate on your behalf for perks. The travel partner thinks of it like a marketing fee — rather than pay for an ad, they pay travel advisors.

Can David book all the flights for my missions trip?

Yes! David loves handling groups. Being on one itinerary, with one point of contact if there is an issue, is a big advantage. Not only that, but David has served as a missionary for over a decade, so he is very familiar with all that’s required on a missions trip. Let his experience guide your team to a great missions trip.
