WHAT IS ACTION?
ACTION is a 6 - 8 week summer program focusing on Discipleship, Service and Mission. Teams (5-8 people including team leaders) travel internationally to serve alongside MBMS International missionaries in the work they are doing. Join God in what He is doing around the world. Put your faith into ACTION this summer!
TRAINING - 1 WEEK
During this week of training you will meet your teammates and begin a time of discovery and preparation.
- Learn to hear the voice of God - spiritual training.
- Becoming a team - get to know each other - gifts, strengths & how to handle conflict.
- Global Mission/Cross-cultural training - learn about the country you will be serving in; ESL training; prepare personal testimonies.
- Logistics training - budget, travel, medical, ministry schedule, etc.
ASSIGNMENT - 4-6 WEEKS
Teams will travel internationally to serve with our missionaries around the globe.
The ACTION home page lists the three different training/debrief locations and the assignment countries where they will be sending teams.
Serving the communities you will be living in looks different in each country - children's day camps, sharing testimonies, sports camps, building projects, teaching English, and the list goes on.
DEBRIEF - 3-4 DAYS
Teams arrive back at their training location for a few days of debrief before heading home. This is a critical part of the program because it sets aside time to process what was experienced overseas and to provide closure for teams so that they end well. 
Teams are given the opportunity to share their stories, photos and experiences with the larger group. The transition between living as a team and going home are addressed. Staff walk with teams through the end of the program and the beginning of what life will be like back at home.
