This Instagram hash tag has been included so that you can chronicle your trip with us through photos. Any photos sent to this hash tag will scroll on our TVs during meals in the dining hall.
It is never too early to start taking pictures. Include your planning sessions, prayer circle at send off, your team in front of your church/orgainization sign, travel snack stops, etc. When you get home, you will all have access to the vast amount of photos posted by your group and us.
Due to security and privacy policies, mission team members are not allowed to post or take photos of placed students. However, our staff will be around taking photos that they can post.
Have fun! We can’t wait to see your pictures!
CELL COVERAGE
Please be aware that coverage in our rural area is spotty. Those connecting via Verizon are more apt to have coverage than those using AT&T.
