Spend
your summer serving among people in South Africa who have
been stricken with the HIV virus. You have an opportunity
to serve in a church that each week opens up its doors to
serve as a clinic for those with this terrible disease.
No medical experience is required, just a compassionate
heart and willingness to share the hope that can be found
in Christ. More details regarding this trip will follow
in late November.
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.
We will give you the specific trip dates and when you can
be picked up at the airport upon return from your trip soon.
Commissioning:
We encourage
each church to commission their student. We will also have
a time of commissioning at the beginning of Base Camp on
June 20. 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. 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. 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.
