DESCRIPTION

Work hard to produce a harvest! This is a motto of many farmers... as a "mission farmer" this summer, you'll be planting more than just physical seeds! You’ll spend the first week of your time in country getting specific training at the Mindanao Baptist Rural Life Center in Southern Mindanao. Then you’ll move to the island of Cebu for your summer’s ministry. Spend your summer working on a training/demonstration farm in the Central Philippines. While working alongside national partners, you'll learn practical ways to help develop the countryside through simple yet practical farming techniques. Your weekends will be spent in local communities, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ... working alongside the local church through training in evangelism & missions. 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 debrief.
