Ministry Schedule
Your ministry schedule will most likely be in 2 parts each day that is a morning session in a village and Afternoon Session in another village. If you have a Medical Team this team will be in the same village all day with changing locations each day. Morning and Afternoon. The morning ministry will most likely be the same as the afternoon ministry but in different villages. All of this depends on the size of your village. You may choose to go to a Village Elementary School in the morning and to a High School in the afternoon. During these school times you may have women's ministry to the moms of the school or have a construction project of placing floor and roofs in houses.
