| The person best equipped to minister in a cross-cultural setting is the person who is spiritually prepared. No matter what task you will be undertaking a servant's attitude is the most important asset you can have. This Christ-like attitude will help you to minister and to be ministered to. It will also help you to be flexible as you face cultural challenges and language barriers. During your mission trip, we challenge you to strive to be an encouragement and a testimony to the missionaries and nationals with whom you will come in contact. |  | In order to ensure a successful trip that will
(1) maintain a God-honoring standard for you and HCJB Global,
(2) portray a proper testimony to all people impacted by you, and
(3) have a vital impact on those you are ministering to and with, HCJB Global has established the following guidelines and expectations for all working visitors: - You must believe in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and sign our Statement of Faith
- Complete the necessary application process (refer to the Application Process Page)

Working Visitor invitations and assignments will be made prayerfully on the basis of talents, gifts, skills, spiritual maturity, departmental need and personal preference.
