Frisbees, balls, and other sports equipment that encourage group involvement are great. Bring pictures of yourself, your family, and your friends. These are great conversation starters. At the end of the summer, you can use the extra space in your suitcase for souvenirs. If you are at a site that will be doing children's ministry, please bring extra children supplies such as sidewalk chalk, bottles, candy, stickers, or anything else you can think of.
Supplies are very limited at many sites.
Prayer is of vital part of your ministry. In most cases, you have a summer mailing address for your ministry site in the final notebook insert we will provide training camp. In some cases, sending and receiving mail will not be possible. In the case of emergency, the Youth In Mission office will have access to the sites on a regular basis through phone calls, faxes, or e-mail. If your family needs to reach you, they may do so at any time through the Youth In Mission office.
