What
is immersion
experience?
An immersion experience is an opportunity to become transplanted
into another situation or living experience that nurtures deep
involvement in a cause or service. This encounter can either
facilitate our understanding of systems that make people poor
or systems that promote violence.
Immersion experiences will
build upon and extend the ministry begun in the former Summer Service
Opportunities.
Immersion
Goals:
To
raise new awareness of injustice and oppression
To
form relationships with people in poverty and those who minister to

we can promote social change
To
make a positive difference in an area of need while working together
with others
