Emily's schedule beginning tomorrow 7/6/13

Thanks for all of the notes and phone calls today!  We are so blessed by each of you and are grateful for your support.  Here is a schedule taken straight from the Global Expedition website.  This will give you a glimpse of what her next few weeks will look like.  Thanks again for praying.  ~Melissa

Schedule

This schedule will provide a general idea of what you’ll be doing each day on this trip.

• • Day 1 – Arrive to our campus, register and meet your team! We will focus this night on understanding our goals for the mission trip and asking God to prepare us for ministry!
• • Day 2-3 – Train for your mission trip on our campus. You will learn the children’s ministry program you’ll be leading and how to share your testimony effectively.
• • Day 4 – Travel to Alaska and out to the villages you and your team will “adopt!” You will get a chance to meet your ministry partner and they will help you get orientated to your surroundings when you arrive.
• • Day 5-15 – Share your faith in Alaska through service projects, testimony sharing and community outreach events.
• • Day 16 – Spend the day sightseeing and shopping for souvenirs!
• • Day 17 – Travel back to the home campus of Teen Mania’s Global Expeditions.
• • Day 18 – Spend time celebrating with your new friends all God has done! You will also get critical “debriefing” training that will help prepare you to adapt successfully back into your own community and know how to share the story of your mission trip with your friends and family.
• • Day 19 – Travel back home and continue making a difference in your community!

Fun Day

We will be working very hard on this trip as we are serving the villages in Alaska, so at the end of the trip we want to take a well-deserved break and experience Alaska in a fun way! We’ll be heading to Denali National Park for an incredible hike with amazing photo opportunities. There will be lots of authentic souvenirs to shop around for at both Anchorage and the National Parks and you’ll be able to pick up gifts for family that they will love!
