Wednesday afternoon affords a timely break in the week's schedule. Teams may visit any number of local and state attractions. Lunch and supper are not provided on Wednesday to allow groups more opportunity to explore the local culture.
Dress: Weather varies greatly. Bring clothing for both hot and cool weather. Closed toe shoes and long pants are necessary for the work sites. No tank tops will be allowed. Other clothing guidelines can be found in the handbook. The important principles to remember for clothing are safety and modesty.
Team Leaders: New team leaders will need to attend on-site orientation. Other members may also attend for a fee of $50 per person. This orientation time is essential for team leaders to understand team leadership, plan for construction tasks, and prepare for ministry. All costs for the POT are covered for team leaders with the exception of travel to and from Dayspring.
Impact WV is an exciting and rewarding outreach ministry, designed to encourage and equip individuals with all different skill levels and missions experience.
Our focus is to serve the widow, orphans, and those in need as homes are repaired, decks and ramps and built, and children are impacted with Bible clubs and community events.
Relationships are key. Not only for physical labor but also to open doors to share the gospel. Expect not only team building but also personal growth as a natural outcome of serving together in this Kingdom opportunity.
Teams stay at Dayspring Camp and Conference Center, which has outdoor cabins with bunk beds along with divided cabins for small families and groups. The camp can hold approximately 150 participants a week. Teams will need to bring towels, bed linens, and pillows.
Breakfast and dinner are served at camp. Sack lunches and water or lemonade are supplied for the work site.
Sail to Serve is a fundraiser taking place in August to raise money for Phase 1 of the new dining hall facility at camp. Check back later for more information on this fundraiser.
Morning devotion times, prayer times, and an opportunity for group devotions with host families encourage spiritual growth. A full all-ages evening program offers time for worship, teaching from God's word, singing, and prayer and sharing.
