On-Site Training

June 29 - July 6, 2012

Be prepared. Your ACTION experience begins with orientation, a week filled with spiritual formation, team building, and mission training. God will both challenge and renew your heart as you worship, confess and pray together with your team. We hope that during orientation, you will take the time to allow yourself to be filled up with God's spirit so that you can pour out in ministry. Along with worship, teaching, and team time, you can also expect to have a lot of fun with the ACTION community as we go swimming, square dancing, river rafting, and spend time getting to know each other and building relationships. Orientation happens in a small town called Gretna, just south of Winnipeg.

"Orientation alone has made this whole experience worthwhile. We were so consumed by our team bonding, prayer experiences, and the sacred space we experienced that we both jokingly felt that 'maybe God was calling us to stay at orientation for the whole summer.'" - ACTION Participant
