This year Teen Missions In- ternational (T.M.I.) is on the move again, with three young men from our arca. Dan Wiegand and Rob Hoffman are off to Assiout, Egypt and Darcy Scott is off to Florida, to the newly organized Pre -teen Boot Camps set up for kids aged 10-13 years. Darcy Scott, 13, from Zurich, leaves for Boot Camp June 27, and will be on the Puppet Evangelism team. Darcy will be receiving inten- sive training in the use of his Bible, puppets, balloons and song to bring the Good News of the Lord to those in nursing and rest homes and churches in the surrounding area of Merritt Island, Florida. He will then be able to bring this knowledge home to our arca. The Obstacle Course (Q.C.), washing his own dishes and clothes arc all part of his training as well. Classes in Bible [narking, Scripture memory verses, letter writing are also included every day. Dan Weigand, 18, has been inter- ested in Teen Missions for about a year, and Rob Hoffman, 20 for' about six months. Dan and Rob, both from Dashwood, leave for the Lord's Boot Camp on Junc 15, where after a two-day bus ride will get to meet for the first time the other 33 teens on their team. For the next two weeks they will have classes in construction techni- ques, puppets, balloons, bible verse memory work, and singing. Their Bibles will be their guide- books and they will have classes in how to use them most effectively. These classes will continue daily for the remainder of their project. Before breakfast there is the Ob- stacle Course, a strenuous series of running, climbing, crawling, swinging, (and occasionally an un- scheduled swim) through various pieces of equipment. This develops team -work. Culmination of Boot Camp is Commissioning Service at which each teen lights a candle to signify that he or she wants to be the Lord's light standard wherever they are in the world. On arriving in Egypt, they will construct playground facilities for the Lillian Trasher Orphanage which houses about 600 orphans and young widows. Teaching, working, and playing with these children for six weeks then leaving them to come home could be the hardest part of their project. The closeness that develops between the team and the nationals is hard to de- scribe. Debrief in Switzerland is one week of R&R (rest and recreation), sightseeing, and more classes in Christian living, preparing slide presentations and how to cope with re -integration into secular society.
