The
Info:
Tokyo:
2008 will be
our eighth summer to send teams to Japan. Our very first
summer team was sent to work in Japan, and we have had teams
there every summer since then. By this you can see that
Japan is a major point of focus for our ministry. The Japanese
people are the largest single unreached people group on
the planet.
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. This team's
Base Camp location is still being determined. The students
will be taken from Base Camp to the Dallas Ft. Worth airport
for their flight and can be picked up at the airport by
parents.
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 on May 17. This will coincide with a brief Parent's
meeting and reception as students are dropped off for their
trip.
Cost:
The trip cost
is approximately $4125. This cost includes airfare, in-country
transportation, housing, food, Base Camp, insurance, supplies,
administrative fees, etc. The only expenses not covered
in the trip cost will be the student's transportation to
Base Camp, transportation home from the airport, and souvenirs.
JSI Retreat Weekend:
We are hosting a mandatory leaderships training
retreat for all of our JSI's in April . We will communicate
the location and starting time as we get those details worked
out.
