Preparing for your Trip.jpg)
Experience has taught us that six days may not give participants enough time to fully grasp the ministry education that they will experience on the missions trip. To help, we've created a handbook for participants to review before they come on the trip. If you are apart of a group, we recommend that you complete the handbook as a team using the following timeline:
• 16 Weeks Before Trip - Sections 1-Overview
• 12 Weeks Before Trip- Section 2- Finding Support (Fundraising)
• 8 Weeks Before Trip - Section 3 - Evangelism & Testimonies
• 6 Weeks Before Trip - Section 4 - Servanthood
• 4 Weeks Before Trip - Section 5 - Compassion
• 3 Weeks Before Trip- Section 6- Racial Reconciliation
• 2 Weeks Before Trip- Section 7- Last Minute Details
At the end of each section in the handbook, there is a page called "Keeping it Alive". These are ideas for you to help keep the principles "alive" from the previous sections, until you come on the trip. We expect those coming to have a basic understanding of the four key points and also to be prepared to give their testimony when they arrive.
