The
Info:
Horn
of Africa:
Through
student-to-student ministry on university campuses, you
will be a part of sharing God's love with the lost
in a mega city home to 5 million people. The opportunity
to teach ESL (English as a Second Language) will help pave
the way for students to build relationships and share Christ
with university students. Students interested in teaching
ESL on the university level will also spend time in cafes,
at soccer games and in homes developing relationships that
impact the Kingdom. You will have the opportunity
to engage the lost while experiencing an ancient, rich culture
and learning about the history of Orthodox and Muslims in
the Horn of Africa.
Base
Camp: The first
three days of the trip are spent in training provided by
iWitness called Base Camp. This time is focused on team
building, spiritual preparation, training, etc. The Base
Camp location has not been finalized yet, but we will let
you know its location at a later date.
Commissioning:
We
encourage each church to commission their student. We will
also have a time of commissioning at the beginning of Base
Camp on May 23. This will coincide with a brief Parent's
meeting and reception as students are dropped off for their
trip.
Fundraising:
This is part
of the process of doing missions. This is a part of your
going because it challenges your faith as you see God provide.
You will learn to trust God, which will better equip you
for your trip. We provide a fundraising packet of information,
suggestions, and ideas to all participants. There is a special
emphasis given to getting your church involved, and we provide
suggestions on that as well. You can download it here.
Communication:
Our website
is designed to be the main source of information related
to our ministry. Students, please check your email regularly.
We will continue to communicate all necessary information
as the trip preparation progresses.
