DESCRIPTION
Your team will spend a significant amount of their time in frontline engagement (prayer & evangelism) engaging college students throughout our region. In our province, the total population is 3.7 million people with only 2.4% of them identifying as Evangelical Christian. Furthermore, at any given time, there are between 500,000-600,000 college students studying at over 100 universities located throughout the province, providing many opportunities for college students/young adults from the States to engage local college students with the Gospel. However, evangelistic engagement will not only be limited to college students as the city affords many other opportunities to engage people on the streets. The team will primarily look for opportunities to evangelize and disciple English-speaking nationals on campuses, in local coffee shops and cafes, in roadside food stalls, parks, and other public places where students/young adults tend to gather and hang out. Additionally, team members may also have opportunities to share testimonies and/or short devotional teachings in local churches and/or at campus ministry gatherings located throughout the province. We are not looking for “experts,” but rather people who are humbly willing to serve, willing to be learn, willing to faithfully proclaim the gospel, and willing to intercede on behalf of those who are desperately lost in our province. Outside of evangelism, prayer walking, and discipleship, the team will have opportunities to learn language, partner with other local ministries, explore the province, learn about local history and culture, and see many historical sites. First stop will be a joint orientation with other young adults serving in residency programs throughout the world. These initial days will be filled with training to prepare you for your time on the field. Upon completion of your field residency, you will return for a time of debrief, sharing all that God has done in and through you. It is expected that all residents participate in the entire program from orientation through debrief.
