Therefore, we desire the students come with a willingness to spend time with a variety of cultures while hearing about their country and cultural heritage Students applying for this project MUST not only be flexible with their schedules, but completely fluid! The life of ministry is one that changes by the minute, so fluidness is a must! The nations are being brought to us. Will you join in bringing the nations to Him?
