Lifehope TiM - Teens in Mission in Warwick, UK

United Kingdom

We want to equip, train and challenge Christian Teens to reflect Jesus Christ and to use their God given gifts to bring Hope to the World. As a result, we hope to see the community here in Warwick impacted. We also hope that all participants will go away strengthened in their faith and with a deeper desire to share their faith with their friends back at home.

You will be working with an international team alongside a church in Warwick helping the members of this church reach out to its neighbourhood through various community projects. We will give you orientation and training to help you share your faith. This is the fourth year running that we have ran TiM in this area and we also have an OM team working in Warwick all year round. The church has an active youth work and local Christians teens will also join the team. Most days, there will also be NET times where you will meet in small groups to share and pray together.

Ministry Details
The programme will aim to be varied and related to teenagers. During the week, you will help to run a holiday club aimed at primary school aged children. You will have the opportunity to help out in the small groups, be involved in the dramas, singing and crafts. There will also be other activities throughout the week including youth work, door-to-door and a social action project.

Participant Profile
We can take teenagers aged 13 to 17 years old. Young adults (20+) can be considered as group leaders. Participants need to have conversational English and be committed Christians. No previous evangelism experience is required, as training will be given.

Accommodation: You will probably be sleeping in a church hall, so you need to be prepared and bring your sleeping bag and mat.

Food: Food will be provided. We need to be informed in advance of special dietary requirements (vegetarian, etc...)

Travel: You should arrive at Birmingham airport by 12 noon on Saturday. At the end of TiM, group travel to the TeenStreet site will be organised at additional cost. This will include a low-cost airline flight and airport transfers. A staff member from OM Lifehope will accompany the group for the whole journey. For those not taking part in Teen Street, please plan to leave from Birmingham airport on Saturday morning.

How to Find Us: We will meet you at Birmingham airport.

Health: Participants should be in good health. Each participant is responsible to obtain appropriate emergency health and medical insurance.

Visa: Nationals from the EU and EEA do not require a visa for the UK. For all other nationalities you will either require an invitation letter in order to apply for a visa before leaving your country or just an invitation letter to present at the airport on arrival in the UK. In both cases you will enter the UK as a Visitor.
