Upon approval of your application, you will receive a confirmation and more details from the gospel trip coordinator for the city you have been assigned to, as well as suggested hotels/hostels.
Gospel preaching
Most of your service will be in preaching the gospel, which will involve a good amount of physical activity including walking, climbing stairs, standing for several hours and travelling via public transport.
