SUMMARY:1/2 Million GLOW Mission Trip: San Bernardino
DESCRIPTION:If there was one city in the United States where you would meet the most Adventists it would be Loma Linda. It’s known for its advanced medicine\, stellar schooling\, and numerous Adventist churches. However\, just a mile away from Loma Linda\, is one of the most neglected cities in Southern California: San Bernardino. With poor communities\, large homeless populations\, and high crime rates\, this is a place that needs Light.  This is why SECC (Southeast California Conference) GLOW is interested in reaching the unreached. Join us in our challenge of passing out 1/2 a million tracts in just 5 days!  Read the Q and A to learn more about the trip and how to sign up! \n. \n.. \nQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS\n1. Q: What is the cost for this mission trip? \nA: The average mission trip costs about $2\,000. To avoid making finances an issue\, we have decided to raise the necessary funds to only require $50 from each missionary. This includes your food\, transportation\, bags\, and GLOW tracts.  \nTotal:  $50 \n*NOTE: Missionaries are not allowed to pay any costs until they been accepted. \n2. Q: Is there an age requirement? \nA: Yes. You must be at least 16 years old\, unless you are accompanied by a legal guardian.  \n3. Q: Who will be leading this mission trip? \nA: Leaders will be seasoned literature ministry leaders from Southeastern California Conference and the Pacific Union. \n4. Q: What kind of outreach will we be doing? \nA: The goal of this mission trip is to get 1/2 million pieces of literature in San Bernardino. It will involve putting tracts on every home\, apartment\, and car in the city. In order to reach as many as possible\, we will not be knocking on each individual door. (Note: If we have extra time to do this we will\, but for now we will allow the tracts alone to do the work). \n5. Q: Will we go two by two? \nA: Yes. Missionaries will be going out in teams of 7. There will be two people per street—one on each side. When we place missionaries in parking lots and other public venues\, they will be in groups of 4. \n6. Q: Will we be giving literature directly to people? \nA: Yes. We believe that personal contact is always ideal. Thus we will alternate between placing literature in neighborhoods\, parking lots\, and public venues. Each participant must be willing and able to give literature directly to people even though it might not be for the majority of the time. \n7. Q: How will meals work? \nA: The trip will be running on a two meal a day schedule. A late breakfast will be in the morning and we will have time for a break for lunch in the afternoon. The conference will provide one vegan/vegetarian meal and lunch will need to be provided on your own. (Note: You may purchase the meal in the field where we are working\, or make a sack-lunch). If you need to have more than two meals a day\, feel free to bring non-perishable items to snack on or have a light supper with while on the go.  Please let us know in advance if you have any special dietary requirements. \n8. Q: What tracts will we be using? What titles? \nA: For the majority of the trip\, we will be distributing different English GLOW tracts. However\, when we work in hispanic communities\, we will have teams that will be using Spanish GLOW tracts. \n9. Q: Who do I contact if I have more questions? \nA: Southeastern California Conference GLOW Director\, Eric Isaia at SECCGlow@gmail.com or call 951-509-2208. \n*Note:  This will be an intense front-line distribution mission trip. You must be physically healthy and able to stand/walk for seven full work days.

This mission trip will be intense and challenging mass distribution of literature that will aim to reach out our Hmong brothers and sisters\, many whom have never heard of the three angels’ messages. We expect over 50\,000 Hmong people from all over the world to gather at this event. Join us and help us share the gospel to this group! \n  \n**NOTE: It is free to register for the mission trip\, but please expect to pay $10-15 in total for fees associated with tickets to get into the sports tournament. \nError: Contact form not found. \nQ: How do I sign up? \nA: First\, fill in your info in the forms above as well as info for 1 reference (preferably your pastor). References are people that we will contact to learn a little more about you prior to acceptance on the mission trip.  After you have submitted your info in the forms\, we will contact you regarding your acceptance.  Once accepted\, we’ll inform you about the next step and payments. (For mission trip costs\, see question below). \nQ: What is the cost for this mission trip? \nA: Once accepted\, missionary trip fees will cost approximately $15.  The costs include paying a ticket in advance\, to avoid spending money on the Sabbath.  Once you sign up\, we will contact you to share additional information.  This will include the cost of the tickets to be admitted into the sports field and other miscellaneous fees. \nQ: Is there an age requirement? \nA: Yes\, you must be over 18.  If you are under 18\, your parent must sign up and email taravang@gmail.com. \nQ: Are there overnight accommodations? \nA: No\, all missionaries must find their own accommodations for the weekend. \nQ: Who will be leading this mission trip? \nA: Leaders include former 1 Million GLOW missionaries in partnership with local church members in the Twin Cities who have a burden for reaching the Hmong community in Minnesota. \nQ: What kind of outreach will we be doing? \nA: The #1 goal of the mission trip is to pass out GLOW to attendees of the sports tournament. GLOW was translated into Hmong less than a year ago.  About a dozen tracts will be handed out\, including “Where is God When I’m Hurting”\, “Talking With God\,” and “Why I Go to Church on Saturday.” \nThe second goal is to actively engage with the attendees of the sports tournament and get bible study interests.  We will have clip boards and bible interest information for signing people up.  For non-Hmong speaking missionaries\, you will be needed to help with interacting with the younger Hmong generation.  The Hmong missionaries will be interacting with the older Hmong speaking generation. \nWe will be primarily handing out GLOW and talking with people.  We want to peak their interest on spiritual matters and share the love of Christ for them!  If we have extra time and missionaries\, we will be placing GLOW on cars in parking lots. \nQ: Will we be giving literature directly to people? \nA: Yes. We will be in large crowds.  Each participant must be willing and able to give literature directly to people.  There may be opportunities to do cars via parking lots. \nQ: Will we be doing anything else like signing people up for Bible studies or praying for people or…? \nA: Yes.  Our first and primary goal is to make sure that we distribute tracts.  This will be our only focus until we know that we have some extra time to slow down.  The tracts will enable readers to sign up for studies.  There is a time for everything\, and this time is going to be devoted to reaching as many people as quickly as possible–we have only 2 days! \nQ: What should I bring? \nA: Ideally\, we would like for you to wear pants or skirts that go below the knees. The weather is typically hot and humid (but be prepared for anything\, including rain). Don’t forget\, bring bug spray\, sunblock\, a hat\, umbrella\, sun glasses\, comfortable shoes to walk in\, a sturdy bag/back pack to carry GLOW\, and a willing spirit to share and talk to the people\, according to the Lord’s leading. A positive attitude and willingness to learn basic greetings in Hmong (provided at the Friday night training) will also go far! \nQ: How will meals work? \nA: We will provide two meals. On Friday\, June 30th\, we will have a vespers starting at 6 PM with a meal. The evening of Sabbath\, we will provide another meal around 5-6 PM on Sabbath\, Saturday\, July 1st.
