The
Info:
Middle
East Team :
Spend
your summer in the Middle East living among people who have
placed their hope in the Islamic faith. Your main task will
be to build relationships, share your life, and ultimately
share the Gospel with those you meet in the context of a
friendship. There will be times when the missionaries
may ask you to focus specifically on prayer. You will be
challenged to be praying at all times, even while you are
engaged in other forms of ministry. Due to security reasons,
specific information will not be posted over the web. If
you have questions please call our office.
Base
Camp: You are
required to come to pre-trip 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 it will take place in the
Dallas area. College Students will attend college base camp
in May.
Commissioning:
We are encouraging
each church to commission their student. However, we will
also have a time of commissioning at the beginning of Base
Camp. This will coincide with a brief Parent's meeting and
reception as students are dropped off for their trip.
Cost:
Until we get
our airfare secured, we are not able to give a final price
for the trip. We are estimating this trip to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,400 per person. The trip cost includes
airfare, in-country transportation, housing, food, Base
Camp, insurance, supplies, administrative fees, etc. The
only thing not covered in the trip cost will be the student's
transportation to Base Camp, transportation home from the
airport, and souvenirs.
Fundraising:
This is part
of the process of doing missions. 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 and get started now.
Communication:
Our website
is designed to be the main source of information related
to our ministry. Because we deal with students and in an
effort to save money, a great majority of our communication
will be done through the message board and through email.
If anyone has trouble accessing the internet, please let
us know so we can make sure any pertinent information is
not missed. Please make sure that we have a valid e-mail
for you. We will continue to communicate all necessary information
as the trip preparation progresses.
