NT: Tropical Traveler (2027)

Description

Alert! Please do not consider this job if you are not willing to be challenged deeply. For those of you who are willing to let the Lord shake & shape you… Welcome, this may be the place for you this summer. The great missionary C.T Studd said ”Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell, I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell.” Come to our tropical nation, sit on the floor in their one room homes, and be the first to share the good news of the kingdom of God. Or light a fire in someone’s heart to share the love of Christ on university campuses that will keep burning when you return home, as we seek Him to powerfully work among university students. Lastly, you may be more wired to disciple those who have believed and help them further understand how to live as a World Christian. Every day here, another hundred enter into a Christless eternity, consider joining us and witnessing the Father work in and through you here.

Your first stop will be a joint orientation with other Nehemiah Teams at the Nehemiah Teams Training Center in Mentone, Alabama. Learning the skills needed to carry out your assignment as well as team building will fill these first few days. Your team will fly to your final destination for the summer. Following your summer of ministry, you will return to the US for a joint debrief… sharing all God has done over the summer. Participants must commit to the entire program from orientation through the end of debrief.

You will be working alongside a field team which is taking a multiple pronged approached… if you are hoping to have a variety of experiences, this will be a good place for you. Take trips between 2-10 hours from the city where you will go to unreached and some unengaged unreached people groups. As you go into those areas you may bring water filters or teach English to open doors for these beloved people to hear the gospel. On the other hand, the city of one million people that you will be staying in has great needs as well. Join us as we go on college campuses and share the good news directly, or lead Bible studies on other campuses. Be prepared to feel like a celebrity as you take selfies for Jesus. Lastly, we will be working with local churches, mostly with youth and young adults in discipleship opportunities as well as encouraging them to take one step closer to the Father. You may not do all three of these, but if you come you will participate in at least one of them. There are 5 people who have opened our Book for the first time as a result of a team this past year, are you willing to join us, to see people enter the Kingdom of God at the ends of the earth?
