What will I be doing?
Many times you will be able to get involved in the activities already planned by the community. When it is berry picking time, go along. Do what the adults are doing – mend fences, coach a ball game, repair things, clean fish. Do what they do. Whether it be setting up and running a Kid’s Club, or visiting a family for a few hours, you’ll be given the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to guide you in building relationships and sharing the Gospel.
