Survival! - a taste of overseas mission

This morning's post brought an invitation to our youth group to experience a taste of overseas missions by going to a Survival day at the Wycliffe Centre near High Wycombe from 10am to 4pm on 20th October.

The young people can expect -
The shock of eating an ethnic meal in a foreign way.
The need to be sensitive to the culture they are in.
Common problems/issues that face teams that go on mission trips.

There will be many interactive activities, where they'll see -
Who can be involved in Mission work NOW.
What about vision 2025 and Bible translation.
What jobs there are to do.
How to get involved now.

and all through the medium of CHOCOLATE!

They will also see what the Bible says abou mision and re-enact some real life stories of missionaries.

All this (for this first Survival event) is at only £5 (which includes lunch) for each young person and there is a free place to a youth leader for every 7 young people that are booked up. It sounds to be a very exciting day out so, if you or your youth group want to book up, you will have to hurry to make your booking by the closing date of 28th September by telephoning 01494 682345 or emailing wynet_uk@wycliffe.org . I certainly wish I were young again!

But if you are just reading this on 28th September, I'm fairly sure that they will fit your young people in if it's at all possible. It's worth a try!
