Smack Upside Your Head

Has God ever given you a good smack upside your head? Has He taken some drastic action to get your attention to do something?

ALIVE 1/26 7:30-9:45pm… be there!

How Are Mission Teams Selected?

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

Nothing is ever a perfect science with an application process, but for several years already, we have an guiding set of criteria for mission team application evaluations. It is provided here so that you can get a sense of your mission-readiness regarding each level and team.

The three confirmed trips so far are:

  • Vermont-YouthWorks (Level 1 - Service)
  • NYC Chinatown (Level 2 - Urban Mission)
  • Hopi Mission 2007 (Level 3 - Cross-Cultural Mission)

If you are interested to be considered for any of these trips (click here for an overview of Mission Trips 2007), and possibly Taiwan Mission Team 2007 (Level 3 - Overseas Mission), please speak to Pastor Sandy or Pastor Rocky before applying. There are only 10 guaranteed spots for Sr high youths on each of these teams, and the selection criteria will be used to place applicants. Please prayerfully consider how you will serve this summer, either in missions or community service or local outreach. May the name of Jesus be lifted up.
