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 iGo Global 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.
