The Missions Camp is an intense, three week missionary preparation program developed by veteran missionaries and local pastors. The camp offers potential missionaries an opportunity to experience and overcome many of the obstacles that they will face in third world missions.
Our purpose is to assist local churches in equipping their young people for foreign missions by facing tough challenges while being assisted by experienced missionaries. Throughout this three-week course we will introduce realistic third world scenarios. Some of the challenges include: various ethnic diets, outdoor survival experience, medical training, ministering to other cultural groups, and of course, Biblical instruction in the area of missions by veteran missionaries. During most of the program, the accommodations will be primitive to replicate genuine third world living.
