Team of the Week: Dinagat Island

The thousands who live on Dinagat Island need freedom! A cult that uses witchcraft has held sway over these people since the 1950's. Church planting efforts have been met with apathy & resistance. As a result, there are four counties with less than 1% evangelical believers. Dinagat Island is very remote. Because of living conditions and the scope of the assignment  given, only those ready to take up a cross should apply for these teams. Spiritual as well as physical preparation is needed.

Come be a part of the next wave of Nehemiah Teams obeying the Great Commission by going to this island. Team members will be learning culture & language, making new friends, giving out literature (tract, Gospel film), prayer walking, and looking for people interested in listening to the gospel. The teams will be living in tents or government buildings and washing clothes by hand.

You first stop will be a joint orientation with other Nehemiah Teams. Learning the skills needed to carry out your assignment as well as team building will fill these first few days. Then your team will fly to Manila and on to Surigao City, followed by a boat ride to Dinagat Island. Following your ministry time you will gather again for a joint debrief...sharing all
God has done over the summer.
