Vision
Join us as we go to Southeast Asia to serve goers and their kids during a conference with their sending organization. This trip will provide time for the goers to get necessary care, teaching, counseling, equipping/training for their ministry, and fellowship with other like-minded people. This kind of care helps them persevere on the field and encourages them in their ministry. While the adults are getting the opportunity to worship and go to teaching sessions, the kids will be with the kids volunteers learning about Jesus! This kind of trip is not babysitting. It’s a time of impactful investment in the lives of kids whose family has chosen to live overseas to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
Through this trip, we hope to demonstrate and teach kids about the importance of studying the Bible and spending time in community with other believers.
Why Should I Go?
We're all called to be a part of God's plan to redeem a people for Himself from every tribe, language, tongue, and nation and this is one way to participate in His mission.
Providing childcare is a huge blessing to our goers by giving them some time for rest and renewal.
Global mission trips will help you align your heart with God’s heart for the nations.
Opportunity for deeper connectivity and fellowship with other Austin Stone brothers and sisters.
This kind of conference helps them persevere on the field and encourages them in their ministry.
What's Expected
During the conference, there will be several times the adults will gather for training, encouragement, worship, prayer, and celebration. During these times, our Kids Program Volunteers will be putting on a high-quality program similar to The Austin Stone Sunday programming.
The Program Volunteers will be responsible for:
Providing a safe environment where goer kids feel safe
Preparing lessons and all lesson materials leading up to and during the conference
Setting up the program areas at the venue
Leading small groups of children during all kids program times
Participating in group worship with kids
Praying for children in their classroom
Cleaning up after the kids program sessions each day
Trainings
We desire you to pursue Jesus in your daily life and grow to be more like Him. We will provide trainings that walk through abiding and resting in Jesus (John 15), ministry overview and expectations, ministry prep, and logistics. While we can’t perfectly prepare you for everything you might encounter, we do our best to train you with everything you’d need for your trip.
