The 2011 fall missions fair went off without a hitch last week. Trips around the world were represented in the student center on Tuesday, with many team leaders from each trip there to speak to students.
“The missions fair is a very important event for our trip,” said Northern Ireland leader John Williams. “It is a chance for us to talk to nearly 100 students about what we do and why we are so excited about going to Northern Ireland year after year.”
The fair also had many new trips added to the selection.
Daley Hilburn, event and student work coordinator for the office of admissions, is organizing a trip to her hometown of Patterson, Calif.
“The missions fair was a great success,” said Hilburn. “I was a little apprehensive at first as to how my trip would be received as it is a very small, grass-roots type of trip to the middle-of-nowhere, California. But everyone I spoke with really liked the idea. I’m so excited to see what God has planned for this trip!”
The next step in the missions process is to attend an interest meeting. The meetings will be held from now until Oct. 30. For this week’s meetings, click on the schedule to the right. The missions department will host a commitment week from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4, when future participants commit to their particular trip.
There are tons of trips to choose from, so make sure you take the time to learn about which one is right for you!
