Ladin Backpacking Outreach Team

Project Description

This backpacking team will the area of northeastern Italy where Ladin is spoken. They will be staying in youth hostels, campgrounds, or other arrangements. While in these areas, this team will seek out speakers of Ladin in order to learn about the local culture and language, build relationships, and foster spiritual conversations. This is a very missional/relational approach, and not your typical, confrontational evangelism approach to sharing Christ with not-yet-believers.

This team requires students who are self-starters, able to take initiative, personable, and missional in thinking and approach. Also, excellent physical condition is required, due to the mountainous and difficult terrain for backpacking. This is a very independent project. Those who require a great deal of direct supervision or instruction should not consider this assignment.
