While in East Africa, 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. You will also 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: You are required to come to pre-trip training provided by iGoglobal called Base Camp. This time is focused on team building, spiritual preparation, training, etc. The Base Camp location has not been finalized yet, but it will take place in the Dallas area.
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. We provide a fundraising packet of information, suggestions, and ideas to all participants.
Communication: Our website is designed to be the main source of information related to our ministry. Because we deal with students and in an effort to save money, a great majority of our communication will be done through the message board and through email. If anyone has trouble accessing the internet, please let us know so we can make sure any pertinent information is not missed. Please make sure that we have a valid e-mail for you. We will continue to communicate all necessary information as the trip preparation progresses.
