Xtreme Team

Are you ready to do “tip-of-the-spear” mission work? If so, we have the trip for you! A team of students will engage Eastern Europe, specifically in cities where the International Mission Board (IMB) either does not have personnel or has little idea of the state of the missionary work there is. It will be a seven week trip and the students will be somewhat in charge of their own schedule. IMB provides students with cities to visit, training, and questions to answer about the cities. IMB instructs them on how to secure travel. The team will utilize various means of lodging (hostels, hotels, etc.). IMB trains students before arrival in Budapest, as well as a week-long training in Budapest that will include training in entry to a context, evangelism, and discipleship. The team will be regional: Eastern Europe, Baltics, or Central Europe; and that will be determined by student interest.

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project should be self-starters, willing to learn how to live independently in an environment that will not be common to them. Students must handle money faithfully and frugally. They will handle their own resources for 7 weeks of living in Europe. *Students should have experience in evangelism, namely 3-circles, and not just know the presentation but come to the field with experience in sharing 3 circles with not-yet believing people. Participants need to be able to walk 15,000-20,000 steps per day. Students with food allergies will be responsible for their own care. First-world medical facilities are available throughout Europe, however, food allergy awareness is not an often-practiced discipline. Should students with food allergies choose to come on this trip, they must bring all necessary self-care items.
