Arabic Camp - Athens, Greece
There is a brief window of opportunity to impact refugees as they flee devastation and pursue the promise of stability. People can be more open to the gospel in times of transition and instability. Through this experience you will learn how to work with Muslims in a camp setting. Character calling, competency and chemistry are just a few important gifts team members should have.
What to expect
- Opportunities to impact refugees’ lives
- Initial stages of culture shock
- Incarnational ministry - long hours, relationally intense and rewarding
- Cross-cultural communication
- Pre-field training and debrief
- Spiritual challenge and growth
