Student GO Teams
WBC Student Ministry is committed to challenging and helping students serve and share the good news of Jesus Christ both locally and globally- we take the command in Acts 1:8 very seriously!
This summer we will be sending eight Student Ministry GO Teams to partner with on-going local ministries in multiple locations, both domestic and international. These teams are made up of both students and adults.
While each trip will have its own specific ministry focus, we have sought to have each experience intentionally align with at least one of the ministries/initiatives of Wheaton Bible Church. More specific information about each of these teams can be found below on this page.
There is nothing more exciting than making an eternal difference for Christ! Please pray and consider joining us on a Student Go Team this summer. We would love for you to be a part of what God is going to accomplish in and through these teams.
Sincerely,
The WBC Student Ministry & Global Outreach Teams
Focus Verse:
But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’
You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.
—Jeremiah 1:7
In 2012, we will travel to:
- Who can apply?
Any junior high or high school student who is willing to make the commitment of time and energy! You do not need to be a committed member of Wheaton Bible Church. Also- any adult who is passionate students and missions can apply for an Adult Leader role.
- How do I apply?
Fill out the Student GO Team application and turn it into the Student Ministry office no later than Monday, April 9th.
- Can I choose where I go?
No- however, on your application you will be able to indicate your top trip choices. Your passions, giftings, mission experiences and preferences will all be taken into account as we work to create healthy and dynamic teams.
- How will I know where I am going?
You will be contacted prior to our first training meeting on April 22 and informed as to which team you have been placed on!
- How are trips financed?
The majority of our participants utilize the training that WBC Student Ministry provides on raising financial support for their trip. Other choose to finance it personally. Every participant is responsbile to pay a non-refundable deposit- the amount will vary depending upon the trip you go on. This deposit goes towards your total trip cost.
- What is included in the cost?
All trip expenses are included in the cost, with the exception of any passport fees and immunizations. Team Leaders will have information on immunizations required and how to obtain a passport. Food during travel (at the airport or on the road) is also not covered.
- Every team member is required to participate in pre-trip trainings and a post-trip debrief. These are important to help establish unity and healthy relationships among the teams, and most importantly to assist teams in being the most effective during their trip. Training and commitments include:
