We encourage you to bring a Bible, your own devotional material, headphones, laptop, journal and pen.
Bedding and a towel will be provided.
Please treat the in-person intensive like a summer assignment, which means abstinence from alcohol and tobacco during our time on camp property.

FLYERS

All travel must be booked through Egencia and meet the flight parameters

All flights must be booked through our flight booking links. Any unapproved travel booked outside of Egencia will not be reimbursed (so, maybe don’t do that). This allows your flight to be charged to our travel card and we can view your flight itinerary automatically to arrange transportation.

Flight booking links can be found in the course & a reminder to book your flights will be sent out in October.

Plane tickets are non-transferrable; therefore, airfare cancellations become the property of the area employing the person ticketed. Should anyone need to cancel, the mission unit will be charged for the cost of the flight.

special diet REQUEST FORM

If you have a special diet (vegetarian, vegan, gluten/dairy free, etc.), complete the Special Diet Form (coming soon) to let the kitchen know. Designate the group as "Minister as Person 2026."

HOUSING

Housing on property will be in camper dorms utilizing bunk beds.
We will make every effort to accommodate needs and preferences based on registration, though no guarantee can be provided. Your understanding is greatly appreciated!
If you have an extenuating circumstance regarding housing needs, contact us before December 1.
