Experience a summer missions trip in the natural beauty of Sweden, land of the midnight sun. Take a cool dip in the North Sea and experience 18 hours of daylight. Swedish people are friendly and welcoming and the best part is that most speak English so you won’t have language barriers in sharing your faith.

Hi, Is there still room for me to register?
Milan, Yes.
Thank you. Is there any Sweden mission on 2017? Or somewhere in Canada?
No, we do not have a Sweden or Canada team this year.
Hello!
Is there stay space available on this trip?
*still
Erik, We had to cancel Sweden due to a lack of registrations. Sorry! There are still plenty of teams still open.
Hi Mrs. Kostner, I was wondering if this team is still open to girls. Thanks!
Erin, Yes, it is still open!
What is the ratio of leaders to teen team members?
Abby, It depends on the size of the team and sometimes the head leaders come from the base you are going to, so they don’t return with the team. We average 4-6 leaders per team.
What are the dates for boot camp?
Abby, Boot Camp for the teens begins on June 18 and Commissioning is July 3.
What is the requirement of amounts of money per month?
Jude, I don’t understand your question. The project expense must be paid in full by the day you arrive. Spending money can vary to what you can afford.
Does this trip entail the task of speaking sermons to large groups of people?
Sarah, Possibly. Not all teams have that opportunity, but all teams will do some ministry, whether it is open-air meetings, helping in children’s church, speaking in a service, etc.
I want to do a trip that my child and I can experience and grow together.

Hi there,
I was attempting to register my son Lee Patton for the Sweden trip and it will not allow me to click on teen register.
Any advice?
Tarice
Tarice, Please call our office (321-453-0350) and ask for the Computer Department.
Beth I will call them. Are they there tomorrow. We registered Lee and put his second choice in the slot. We really want Sweden to be his first choice so I am hoping you will not begin printing any support forms until we can get this figured out. Do you have any idea why Sweden is not on the list? thanks
Tarice, It is on the teen list on the website, so I am not sure what the problem is.
