What on earth is God doing?
\nWhat is God’s will?
\n<\/span>What is life like for remote people who have no access to a Bible or Christian?
\nWhat skills and gifts are needed for God’s purposes?
\nHow can we know who is “called”?<\/span>
\nWhat does personal sacrifice for the benefit of unreached language groups and eternal joy look like?
\nHow can I support missionaries who want to tell\u00a0unreached language groups of people about Jesus?
\nWhat do you mean by “support team”?
\nShould we send our youth group to Wayumi?
\nWhat is a Wayumi Weekend Retreat for church groups?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wayumi is a great way to explore answers to these questions and more!<\/p>\n

There are several different Wayumi programs: Wayumi Expedition, Wayumi Course, Wayumi Retreat, Wayumi Youth Day, Wayumi WinterQuest and other special programs for church leaders.<\/p>\n

For most, the setting is like many camps and retreat centers with good accommodations for sleeping, cleaning and eating. \u00a0The classrooms are heated and comfortable for learning. There is a lot\u00a0of room on a wooded property to roam, with game rooms and lounge areas for those who want to stay inside.<\/p>\n

Expedition teams have a little bit more exposure to missionary realities in that participants sleep with hammocks in cabins just up the hill. They also have more outdoor adventures designed for the\u00a0summer learning experience.<\/p>\n

The focus of Bible teaching\u00a0is on God’s character, His heart for the people of the whole world and our role as ambassadors who represent Him to those who do not know Him – even to the ends of the earth.<\/p>\n

What is the objective of missions?
\nWhat logistics might be involved in\u00a0reaching unreached people groups with the Gospel?
\nWhy go to all of the effort to communicate well with remote language groups of people?
\nWhat does culture have to do with our mission?
\nWhere does Bible translation fit in?
\nWhat skills would a person need to serve as a missionary church planter?
\nWhat kind of training would a person need?
\nWhere can you get good training for a career of making disciples in remote places?<\/p>\n

The answers to these and many more questions are relayed in exciting testimonies of what God has done and is doing in remote places. It really is an adventure, exploring new ideas, settings, and experiences.<\/p>\n

Why go?<\/p>\n

Where else are you going to learn some of these things?<\/p>\n
