When you return from the field, you will be required to meet with your campus minister to debrief your experience. Depending on your schedules, you may be able to do this before returning for the fall semester, but it must be completed no later than August 31st. Also, please make plans to share your experience with your church and with your BCM.
Photos
Each student is required to submit 3 digital photos (no photos downloaded from Facebook please!!) of ministry-related activities. FACES!! FACES!! FACES!! We want to see faces of people you ministered to and with; not just you and other summer missionaries. If a team chooses to select a team photographer, the team should submit 3 photos per person on that team. Photos can be uploaded online by clicking here. Save photos in this format: Last Name, First Name, photo #1, #2, #3. All photos must be summited by August 31st.
