Where else can you spend a week with some of the most enthusiastic people you'll ever meet?
You'll befriend, lead and encourage the children, get alongside them in small groups, pray with and for them, minister to them in the power of the Holy Spirit and encourage them to pray for each other. You'll serve as a small group leader, either on your own or paired up with another team member who you may be asked to supervise. Some teams also need activity leaders who organise, prepare and supervise drama, games or craft, and assist with the practical needs of the team while not being directly responsible for a group of children. Your day will start with a time of team prayer and preparation. Some teams have informal activities in the afternoon (e.g., games, sports or water fights) and some teams have a meeting for prayer and preparation in the afternoon. The time is rewarding, and needs energy and commitment. You will need to be a Christian with an active, living faith, a heart for children, and regular attendance at a church/fellowship.
