LEADMISSIONS is a ministry of LEAD222. Devoted to the mentoring, training, and development of Christian leaders and students, LEAD222 values the concept of servant leadership. Each LEAD Missions trip is geared toward youth ministries who want to help serve the physically, financially and emotionally challenged of the world. While we do that we also structure our trips to develop the leadership of those students so they can return home and live the same servant leadership lifestyle after the trip. We leverage evening sessions, morning devotions and daily team debriefing time to create the environment where leaders are developed outside of the Kingdom work we do in the community.

For more information about LEAD222 visit www.lead222.com or email us at info@lead222.com.

LEADMISSIONS has multiple event locations. For a complete listing of all LEAD Missions Trips go to LEADMISSIONSMISSIONS.

Each group is responsible for all transportation to and from their trip. Additionally, all deomestic teams will be responsible for transportaiton to their work sites each day. Do not plan on using public transportaiton to fill your transportaiton needs. You will need vehicles. Please plan accordingly for gas expenses. Keep in mind your free day and how you’ll get to and from the different activities you choose to do with your team.

We are asking each group to bring a ratio of one adult leader for every 10 students. If you are bringing male and female students, you must have accompanying leaders for each gender. A leader is expected to be at least 19 years old, and someone who will come with a servant attitude.

LEADMISSIONS is geared towards male and female junior high and high school students.

We will do our best to make sure all work sites and host facilities are as safe as possible. However, you should remind your students not to wander off alone and to always be aware of their surroundings.

There is no nurse on staff at LEADMISSION trips. You are responsible for all medical emergencies with your group. Please keep medical release forms with you at all times. At registration, you will be given maps and phone numbers to the closest medical facilities.

No drinking or drugs (including tobacco) of any kind will be tolerated by students or leaders. We have a zero tolerance policy and anyone breaking this policy will be sent home at your group’s expense.

We will do our best to accommodate any special dietary needs. Please make this information available when you pre-register, or as soon as you are aware that you have a special need. It is still wise, though, for individuals with severe dietary needs to come prepared with some of their own food in case a meal or two end up not being editable.

Spending money may be needed for the team day, depending on what your group chooses to do. Students may also want to bring extra money to buy snacks, souvenirs, etc.

Everyone attending LEADMISSIONS trips will be housed in local churches, schools or hotels based upon which location you choose. You may need to bring sleeping bags and/or air mattresses to sleep on (this information will be provided months in advance). Sleeping arrangements will resemble dormitory-style accommodations, with males and females separated. You will be sleeping on the floor. There will most likely be limited access to showers. Showers may or may not be located within your host site. We will try to provide you with the best accommodations we can, but plan on roughing it. We will, however, eat together as a group as well as meet together as a group for morning devotions and evening sessions.

No, we do not have the ability to provide you with accommodations either before or after the event dates.

See LEADMissions homepage (click here) for all details.

Yes. We will be glad to work with you to figure out the best payment schedule however final payment must be received six weeks prior to your trip.

Our philosophy for work projects is to partner with existing ministry and service programs that are already in operation and that will continue on after we leave. The needs of these ministries will dictate which opportunities are available. These could include painting, stocking food pantries, serving the homeless, working in children’s programs, construction projects, sorting clothes, cleaning up, serving the elderly and various other jobs. If your group has a preference of projects, we will do our best to match up ministry serving teams’ interests with the ministry opportunities available.

Be prepared:

• Remember that you are a guest on these ministry work sites
• Keep a servant attitude – come ready to serve!
• Things may change, so be prepared to be flexible and patient
• Remember to bring refillable water bottles, sunscreen and hats for summer’s hot weather

In general, all work project tools will be supplied. If we identify any special needs as we get your project set up, we will contact you with our recommendations for tools you may need to bring.

Your specific assignments will be confirmed to you 14 days in advance and will be emailed to you directly.

Your team will depart from the host site by 9:00 a.m. and should return by 5:00 p.m. The time you actually spend at the work project site will depend upon the travel time.

Work project sites will generally be within one hour’s driving time.

We will work with you to accommodate your groups’ request. Be prepared to break your team into work groups of 10 to 15. Again, you will be responsible for their transportation and providing a work site leader.

Teams will be provided a sack lunch (sandwich or salad), including drinks. Each domestic group needs to bring one 48-quart cooler for every ten students and two reusable freezer packs for each cooler to keep lunches cold. Extra drinking water is recommended for during the day, so bring refillable water bottles. Bottled water will also be available.

Leaders need to bring one large 48-quart food cooler for every ten people and two reusable freezer packs for each cooler. You will use these coolers to keep your lunches cool and fresh as you transport them to the worksite every day.

On this mission/serving trip your team will be representing LEAD222 and it would be expected that students dress modestly – no short shorts or revealing tops, etc. Males must also always wear a top, even at the work sites. Please advise your students of this requirement.
