Learn & Serve
Learn and Serve (L&S) is a mission experience for youth and their leaders held each summer on the Servants in Faith and Technology (SIFAT)'s campus in Lineville, Ala. SIFAT provides L&S to encourage students in developing a heart for missions and an awareness of other cultures, especially those in the Third World. We strive to expose youth to global issues, have them experience the reality of daily life in the Third World, equip them with tools to use in the mission field and empower them to act using their God-given talents.

The L&S experience highlights an awareness to global hunger, Christian persecution, Third World daily life and the use of appropriate technologies through the Global Village Experience. |
1. What are the physical expectations of participants?
Students and chaperones should be able to walk more than one mile with ease. Some activities may require small amounts of running. Service projects may involve lifting objects and manual labor. If someone in the group has a disability or impediment, please let the L&S staff know in advance and we will work with you to make accommodations. |
2. Is spending money needed?
Students will have the opportunity to make purchases in The SIFAT Village Store. In addition to snacks, the store has L&S items, imported merchandise from Bolivia and Ecuador and other interesting items.
3. What is the ratio of youth to counselors?
Because small groups facilitate the best learning environment, we strive to have no more than 15 students per counselor. |
