DESCRIPTION
The Philippine tourism slogan is “It's more fun in the Philippines,” so for sure, while you work & minister, you will have fun getting to know the Filipinos of the Philippine Islands. The beautiful islands with their hospitable people are common tourist destinations, but few are going there to share the gospel. Some on these islands are religious but are still not sure of their salvation. As a team, you will work together, spending time in villages, learning about culture, sharing your lives & sharing the gospel through testimonies, drama, sports & music. You will also bless the local ministries or surrounding communities with various types of work projects. The Philippines is still a harvest field so come help us harvest on these islands. The Philippines is also becoming a harvest force. Through your ministry, you will help encourage the local churches in making disciples and becoming better senders. Your team will spend off days swimming at a local beach or in a natural hot spring. After being accepted to this project, students & adult leaders will be placed on ministry & work teams of 10-12. Adults will be required to complete pre-field leader training (via email/on-line). Participants will have preparation assignments before attending orientation from June 4-June 8 at the Nehemiah Teams Training Center in Mentone, Alabama. From orientation, your team will be transported directly to the airport to begin your international journey. Your final destination will be the Mindanao Baptist Rural Life Center. Work projects may be done at the MBRLC or in surrounding communities. From your “base camp” you will may minister in several villages for the next 16 days. You will have a 2 day on-field debrief with other NT4Teens before flying home to America.
