We're sure you'll have your own list to give to your team members, however, here's some suggestions that you might want to include:

 

Personal Items

• Bible, notebook, and pen

• Sleeping Bag

• Pillow

• Towel

• Soap

• Shampoo

• Deodorant

• Small hand mirror

• Toothbrush and toothpaste

• Hat

• Sun block

• Gloves

• Flashlight -not urgent but could be helpful

• Alarm clock

• Spending money

• Small Spanish Dictionary

• Camera

• Baby wipes for keeping hands and face clean

• Personal Medications if needed

• Light coat

 

Remember that you are coming to a Christian camp style environment and we do not provide all these personal items like a hotel would.

 

Suggested Clothes to Bring

 

Work Clothes (for both men and women)

• Old Jeans

• Old shirts

• Work gloves

• Work shoes

• Hat

 

Dress for Vacation Bible School Outreaches/Home Visitation & Prayer Ministry

• Men – Unless your work clothes are extremely dirty they can be worn to V.B.S. You will be playing and interacting with children in a fairly dusty environment so changing is not really necessary.

• Women – Pants are fine, no sleeveless tops, dress modestly. Keep in mind V.B.S time is outdoors and somewhat dirty. Don’t wear your best stuff. It’s also a good idea not to wear your jewelry to V.B.S. as the children will want you to give it to them or be distracted by it.

 

Dress for Church Outreaches

• Men – Nice jeans (or equivalent) and casual shirts

• Women – Dress or skirt that goes below the knees when seated.

• Note for the ladies -   Please do not wear open sleeve tops to any events that involve being around your Mexican brothers and sisters in Christ. They dress much more modestly that those in the States.
