The
Info:
South
East Asia Trekking:
Students
will travel by boat, truck, bus, and foot to rural villages
in a restricted access area of Southeast Asia where there
has been little Christian work done in the last several
years. The team will focus on mapping and praying through
villages, looking for people of peace and inroads for the
gospel, and distributing gospel materials. This team will
play a crucial role, interceding on behalf of the people,
asking God to do a mighty work and to draw the people to
himself. This will be a rugged trip, so applicants need
to be in good physical condition and can expect to go days
at a time without a shower.
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. 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
May 17. 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 $3,800 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. 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.
