Why go?
During this past year, God blessed our teams and used them to touch the lives of many. Missionary women were encouraged and refreshed. College students heard and responded to the good news of Jesus Christ for the first time. Children played on a new playground. Families moved from the streets into new homes with clean water. Battered women laughed and danced. Orphaned boys encountered a loving family. The lives of the North Metro team members were greatly impacted, as well. Those involved, when asked if they would go again, have all responded, “Yes!” So why should you go? …Simple – to make a difference and to have a difference made in your own life.
What about the money, the travel, the training…?
The answer to all of these questions will be addressed in our team training prior to the trip. To participate on a team, you must commit to eight training sessions that thoroughly prepare you for your international experience. These meetings are fun, interactive, and informative.
Who can go?
All of the North Metro teams are open to adults. However, Senior High students will be considered for all teams on an individual basis. In addition, you will see that we have one team specifically designed for college students, and two others for Senior High students and their parents. Each team uses people with different gifts and personalities. So the answer of who can go is simple – YOU!
