Salvations

Please know that on the last day of ministry we share Christ with each child, student, or adult. Those who want to follow Christ are then given a bible, devotion, and paper with their Disciples name, phone number, start date and location for beginning discipleship. We also write down their phone number if possible. We then place all the Salvation Names on a spreadsheet that is shared with the Team Members for praying. 

​

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.
