Youth Missions...what is it?

Youth Groups, team, and Individual Youth participants work with IMB field personnel on a mission project to accomplish the ministry needs of the missionary. Team leaders and individual youth are responsible for working out the logistics of getting to the field.

Project Group Leader is responsible for trip arrangements such as flight itineraries, visas, immunizations, travel insurance, pre-project study, and raising and taking the money for on-the-field costs to the missionary. Field personnel will arrange on-the-field meals, housing, and in-country transportation, if needed.
