Each year the senior class takes a school-sponsored mission trip. Generally the trip is to a foreign nation working with a ministry involved with International Christian Leadership Connections. Students have traveled to many different nations, including Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Guyana, Japan, Mexico, and Suriname.
These
trips are a culmination of the seniors’ training at our school and
emphasize the abilities of the students with their heart for particular
nations. Students are placed in situations where
they release the power of God’s anointing that is a result of their
relationship with their Savior.
Details of the senior mission develop throughout the senior year. Location, dates, and opportunities revolve largely around what needs arise in the receiving ministries. Parent-sponsored
fundraising opportunities are made available throughout the year, and
while they may not cover the entire cost of the trip, they usually help
fund a significant portion. Expenses on the trip include airfare, transportation, insurance, daily living expenses, lodging, and sight-seeing. For international trips a passport will be required for each student. International
diplomacy and safety issues are constantly monitored and play major
decisions in trip preparation, including trip cancellation as necessary. It is the family’s final responsibility to provide for financing the mission trip and necessary documentation.
While
traveling students must remember that they are representatives of
Family of Faith Christian School and its representatives. Therefore,
behavior during the trip must be impeccable and that which truly
represents the Christ-like nature exemplified in the Word.
