Summer Missionary Applications Due April 20

A life-changing experience awaits high school and college students who commit to serve as summer missionaries and fulfill the "Send" commitment. Applications are being taken now until April 20. Opportunities include:

Sojourners - High school students who work with missionaries and churches in evangelism and church planting projects in the United States and Canada. Ministry settings vary from city to the beach. Sojourners serve with other student missionaries and/or career missionaries.

Summer Missionaries - Students who work to assist local churches, campus ministries, and NAMB missionaries with evangelism and church planting. Their work concentrates on helping in community ministries, ministering to teenagers, working with campus ministries, or assisting in church planting.

Innovators - Students who work at a secular job (usually 40 hours a week) while assisting local missionaries (8-10 hours a week) in evangelism and church planting. Supervision and mentoring are provided by the place of service.

If you know a student who would be interested in being a summer missionary or who would like to register, visit www.answerthecall.net or call 1 800 462-8657, ext. 6476, for more information.

                                                                                   

Each Samaria Update highlights key Acts 1:8 Challenge Kingdom-growing responses to assist your church in fulfilling its Acts 1:8 Challenge commitment.
