MISSIONS MANUAL


Dear Youth Leader,

You are embarking on an adventure that has the potential to change the lives of your youth! While planning a youth group mission trip can take a lot of organization and hard work, the benefits you reap are worth every effort.

The following book is designed as a tool to assist you in the logistics of planning your trip. In these pages you will find tips on everything from preparing your youth for cross-cultural interaction, to how to apply for a passport. I hope you find it helpful and inspiring as you work out the details of your trip.

If you have questions or need some help, feel free to contact me at Rosedale Mennonite Missions. So, plan your trip, pray like crazy, and have a wonderful time at your outreach location!

Blessings to you and your youth group.

Until all have heard!

Todd Miller
