INVEST - Embrace Serve Transform
Invest is an 8-week summer (June 1- July 31) cross-cultural team experience. During this time, participants will see and experience God in a culture different from their own. Teams of 5-7 participants will serve alongside two national ministries for three weeks each.
- Encourage and Equip small groups of people for cross-cultural service.
- Create space for participants to determine if God may be calling them to longer cross-cultural work.
- Support ongoing Youth for Christ national ministry programs.
What does it look like?
- The team will arrive as a group in the country, and the first few days will consist of training and time zone adjustment.
- Training will be based on location and what the teams need to know. This could include cultural things to be aware of, learning about the Youth for Christ ministry they will be serving in, learning about follower-ship and having a heart for Christ, and safety and security. This training will be led by GE staff in conjunction with national staff.
- After training, the team will serve alongside the national ministry for three weeks.
- At the end of the team’s first location, there will be a few days of transition between locations. This will allow for transition/ travel between locations and to have a recreation/ down day.
- Upon arrival in the new host nation, there will be a 1-2 day orientation about ministry and culture. The team will serve alongside the Youth for Christ national ministry for three weeks.
- Debriefing will be held at the end of the time in the second nation.
