- Attend Mission Trip Meetings - These meetings are a necessity for our Mission Trip. It is in these meetings where we will be learning what to expect, what the culture looks like, what the church dynamic is, what the heart of missions is, and what it means to share the gospel. We will also give your students practical ways to prepare for gospel conversations and service projects.

- Write out your Testimony - Your testimony is composed of three elements. 1.) What was your life like before you met Christ? 2.) How did you meet Christ? 3.) How has your life been different since you met Christ? The goal is to rewrite your testimony to reflect on what God is doing in your life and gain a fresh perspective on your salvation experience. Every testimony is powerful because the God of the universe brought someone from death to life.

Who/What is Mission Arlington?
They are an evangelical ministry functioning in partnership
with most of the local churches in Arlington from across all denominations. Essentially, They do two basic things (which are closely intertwined): 1) They begin Bible Studies which over time grow into churches in neighborhoods (mostly low-income apartment communities) all over this city and 2) They meet a variety of physical needs through free “benevolent” programs like medical clinics, food pantries, afterschool tutoring, and more. You will be partnering with them by leading evangelistic programs in the apartment communities and other neighborhoods where they have ministries and by supporting their benevolent programs.
What is Rainbow Express?
Rainbow Express is the name of the Backyard Bible Clubs you will be leading while you are at Mission Arlington. Mission Arlington has been leading outdoor Vacation Bible Schools for their many apartment churches since the beginning. When these programs first began the volunteers that were leading them had a large portable stage built on a trailer that they pulled from site to site for puppet shows. This trailer, which was decorated with a rainbow, came to be known to the children as the Rainbow Express. Rainbow Express then became the name for all of the Vacation Bible Schools.

We will be staying at a host church or community center that will be assigned one month prior to our trip.
