STEM Preparation

Spiritual Journal & Mission Journal
The first thing you must look over is your relationship with the Lord. Only the living Word of God can prepare you and save the lost souls. Finding effective and valuable times of meditation and sharing will help you layer that firm foundation in which it will evidently bring forth a good relationship with Good. Start and act now!

Prayer & Team Meeting
Sunday Prayer meeting and weekday team meeting of praise and prayer will help you to win the spiritual battle. It will be a time of prayer for the mission field and your fellow team members.

[Seminar & Lecture] “Super Saturday Training”
Missionaries and pastors will teach you the word of God and equip you with practical matters and knowledge needed for the short-term mission.

Administrative Assistance
We will help you with all the administration including visa processing, passport renewal, flight schedule/reservation, fund raising activity, how to pack, and etc.
The agendas, and the exact schedule of each ministry will be done at the field. Experts in different areas and STEM Alumni will prepare you with body worship, puppet show, mime, praise, balloon craft, crafts, and more for VBS and various events in the field.

Financial Support
Group fundraising run by the college group will be a help to your financial needs. Also, we will provide you with creative ideas and ways for you to be supported personally through fundraising. Although individual fundraising is emphasized, the whole process will be a group effort.

Presentation Preparation
We will prepare you with all the presentation and reports for before and after the mission. There is an Annual Mission Banquet and a Mission Departure Service before the actual departure. Mission Report Sunday will be an opportunity to reflect back and to share your own experiences with the college groups and the others as well.
