BRING A GIFT
Your host pastor will be opening up
their home to you and your team! A
gesture of gratitude goes a long way.
Ideas may include having your team
make a card and signing it, giving
the pastor a photo of the group, or
providing them a small gift. This can
be anything from something you
make during the trip to something
you bring from home. This is a great
way to help the pastor remember you!

INVITE THEM ALONG
Our host pastors love spending time
with the team! That’s the number one
thing they say at the end of the week:
that they want to spend as much time
with the team as possible. Invite them
along! Ask your trip leader if you can
invite your host pastor along during
your recreation day. This doesn’t
have to be just the pastor; invite their
family along too!
BE INTENTIONAL
Time will pass quickly on your trip,
and you’ll be busy! Make an effort
to be intentional in connecting with
your host pastor. Sit with them during
down time and talk to them about
their experiences. Take time at the
beginning of the week to listen to
your host pastor’s story.
