No doubt some of you are wondering if what we are doing is safe. No student will be allowed to leave a Wheaton Bible Church leaders presence while we are in the field. Students will be inside their compound at all times at night. Except for the fun night out . We are hoping to have 1 adult for every 6 students.
Many people have misconceptions of city life.
We are constantly reminded of shootings, gang activity and drug deals on the news. Yet most of Chicago is nothing like that. No doubt the crime rate is higher where we will be than it is in Wheaton. Because we will be working with local churches that are known in the community, and we will be working in daylight in and around those churches we should be safe. We will be renting a number of 15 passenger vans to transport us around Chicago.
