England (Northwest)

Vision

Join us this fall as we serve alongside long-term workers in England! This short-term trip will be strategically focused on prayer, demonstrating the gospel through service, and personal evangelism. On this trip, you can expect to engage with locals, learn about their culture, serve them, offer to pray with them, and seek to share the gospel with them!

You’ll help the long-term team there share the gospel and seek out people who are interested in learning more about Jesus. The team lives in a densely populated predominantly Muslim area of their city which allows for building relationships and sharing the good news of the Gospel in a small radius of the city. Those people will be followed up with those who are a part of the team’s house church. 

Receiving a short-term trip allows for the long-term team to focus on those who are showing interest in Jesus while the short-term team goes out and builds relationships with new people. 

Potential Opportunities

There might also be an opportunity to join the team in their work of training people who work in the financial district. This would look like helping train those people in having gospel conversations in their workplace. So if you are passionate about faith in the workplace, this could be a great opportunity. 

The long-term team’s house church has five little girls. If anyone is passionate about Kids Ministry, they could help serve the house church by helping with Christ centered activities for them.  

What's Expected 

As team members are learning from and engaging with others, team members should have a heart posture of humility, and remember that culture does not make people, people make the culture.

Typical Day Includes

• The team will receive a whole day of orientation and gospel sharing modeling individually (paired up 1:1 with an existing team member).
• Personal/ small team prayer and devotion
• Meet together with the long-term team — This is a time for debriefing experiences, prayer, reading the Word, etc. It’s also a chance for teams to be exposed to the life and experiences of the long-term workers to catch a glimpse of what life overseas would look like.
• Eat meals with members of the long-term team, their ministry partners, and/or people who are interested in hearing about Jesus
• Prayer walk through communities asking God to open the hearts of those they see to the gospel, including sending dreams and visions

Logistics

• Team members will walk a lot as well as take public transportation (metro or taxi) to get around the city. 
• The team will stay in an Airbnb or hotel near where the ministry partner lives. 
• Rooms will be same gendered.
