 We want you to have all the information you need to plan a World Changers mission experience. The questions and answers below may help you think through the preparations you need to make.Q: Can I use a World Changers project as an outreach tool to involve unchurched youth or adults in my ministry? A: No. The participants you bring to a World Changers project must be Christians who are active in your church's ministry. Our approach involves helping participants grow in their faith and develop mission-minded lifestyles. A work project requires participants to come ready to work hard, sleep on the floor, and share their faith authentically. Q: What is a pre-project visit, and why should I participate? A: World Changers designates a team of coordinators for each project location. These coordinators schedule and organize a pre-project visit for group leaders that offers a preview of lodging, work sites, leadership, and local attractions to help with group planning. Although the expenses for this visit are not included in the registration fee, the investment always proves to be worthwhile. World Changers strongly encourages group leaders to participate. Q: I want to bring youth of all grades to a project. Is this possible? A: Yes. World Changers offers four types of youth projects. The Senior High Projects are limited to youth who have completed one of the grades 9-12. The All-Youth and Community Projects are for youth who have completed one of the grades 6-12. We have three collegiate World Changers projects, but college students are also eligible to attend any project. Q: How do I get information? A: Call 1 800 462-VOLS, or visit the following Web sites: North American Mission Board: www//worldchangers.studentz.com International World Changers: www.thetask.org, 1 800 999-2889, ext. 1355 Q. Will my whole youth group work together on a crew? A. No. We try to place at least two participants from a church group together on a crew. They will mix and match with youth from other churches to form a work crew. We feel this is part of the unique World Changers experience which helps youth get to know and work with others of their grade level from all over the country.
