COME ALONGSIDE LOCAL LEADERS TO SERVE
Overview
The small town of Winslow may feel like it’s in the middle of nowhere. It has 9400 residents and is located in northeastern Arizona, just outside of the Navajo Reservation.
Winslow has an interesting mix of demographics: Hispanics, American Indians, Whites, and other or mixed races. Such balanced diversity offers ample chances for multicultural ministries. About a quarter of the town’s population lives in poverty, and the town also struggles with joblessness, alcohol and drug abuse, and gang violence.
Despite this, Winslow is filled with families who love their small town. Many are loyal to businesses and services, encouraging others to keep buying local. There is a willingness to serve the community that ignites an excitement for those who are a part of this town.
Currently, the ministry in Winslow focuses on community outreach and Winslow Christian School.

Airports Options
Phoenix (PHX) or Flagstaff (FLG)Number of team members
We intentionally focus on smaller team sizes for a better overall trip experience for the goers as well as the receivers. 10-15 team members is the ideal size to allow the team to have a more personal experience as they interact with one another and with the community they are going to serve. A smaller team size also allows for deeper conversations and bonding experiences on the field. And this small size prevents the location we are visiting from being overwhelmed.Trip length
3-8 daysDocuments needed
Online application, background check (provided by Lifeline) and a notarized parental consent form, if needed. On the trip, bring your health insurance card or a copy of the front and back of the card. If you live in Canada, contact your healthcare insurance company in advance to ensure that your personal healthcare insurance plan will cover medical care or emergencies while in the United States.Age requirements
Team members must be at least 7 years old. All minors between the ages of 7-18 must be accompanied on the trip by an adult family member or by an adult who will be responsible for the minor’s well-being.
