They also train to counsel children, though usually only returning Trainees actually counsel in a club setting. They also learn how to share the Wordless Book though are not required to share at Open-Air on Thursday to graduate.

​

  • The first week takes place mostly in the classroom. Students watch staff demonstrations, practice with a partner, and then are evaluated by a staff member. The purpose of evaluation is to help you to be the best communicator of the Gospel.

​

  • The first Thursday students to share the Wordless Book with children accompanied by a staff member.

​

  • During the second week you prepare to teach an actual 5-Day Club in your home County. Staff members help you refine your skills.

​

​

  • Summer Missionaries and Trainees remark that this is the hardest but best two weeks where they are equipped to share the Gospel in all aspects of life and form lasting friendships.
