Do you have a team of high school or college age students who want to help teach some conversational English classes, lead some sports and team building activities and expose students in Serbia to a different culture with an All American Night?
If that sounds like a fun challenge then we're looking for you. Your biggest challenge through the entire two weeks is to simply hang out and have fun with the youth. This helps the local church build relationships with the non-churched youth! Everything your team will help do at the camp is designed to build a bridge between the churched and non-churched.
This is an amazing time and really, it's a ton of fun! |
Frequently Asked Questions...
- What will we be doing?
This is a two week camp working alongside the ministry of Josiah Venture as they reach out to high school age students through English Camps. That's right, the only requirement for this trip is that you be a native English speaker.
During the two week time period your team will take part in two different "Chat Camps." Members of your group will be trained to participate as group leaders and/or discussion leaders. You participate in all of the activities of the camp and be available to speak english with Serbs who desperately want to learn the language.
These camps open many doors for continued relational evangelism work that is done by the staff of Josiah Venture throughout the rest of the year
