East Asia University Evangelism: While in East Asia, you will work with local university students to bring hope to the next generation! A large percentage of these college students are seeking truth and hope, and they believe they will find it through education or other means. Specifically, you will develop friendships for the purpose of sharing your story, take language classes, and live on the university campus. Your life and witness will allow the students to see what a follower of Jesus "looks like." You will also have the opportunity to disciple young believers and prepare them to disciple others. Prayer is an important part of the ministry, and you will have the opportunity to prayer walk the university campus and the city several times a week. Through prayer and abundant Gospel sowing, we believe we will see Father draw people into a relationship with Him and that this nation will be changed as Father draws this generation of young adults to Himself.
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 21. 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.
