Student Homework

Here is the information of the homework assignments we're asking each student to accomplish before the trip.
Book Study — The Peacemaker
The whole team will be reading The Peacemaker by Kevin Sande. Copies of the book are included in the students' payments. A syllabus of the chapters read can be found in the students' folders, given at the first meeting. But here is the general info:
- May Meeting: Ch. 7-8
- June Meeting: Ch. 9-10
- Departure Date: Ch. 11-12
DAWG — Day Alone With God
Each student is asked to take one 8-hour window or two 4-hour windows to spend alone with God. This time can be filled with scripture reading or writing, prayer, meditation on God's Word, journaling, and worship.

We are offering an opportunity for all the students to come to Crossover and complete their DAWG with a 4-hour window here at Crossover. That will be on June 20th from 10am-2pm.
One-on-ones
Students are asked to meet one-on-one with every team member and leader of their same gender before going on the trip. This is important for students to get to know each other before we head on the mission field.
Support Raised
Of course, the students are responsible for raising the financial support to go on the trip (see above). They are accountable for writing and sending prayer and financial support letters, being proactive about raising the money themselves, and engaging in discussions for ways we can raise money as a team.
