Join forces with fired-up teens from Russia to impact the world's largest country, on this exciting 
multi-purpose team! Watch local village farmers pass by on horse-drawn carts as you begin your project by Training 
National Teens (TNT) in work and evangelism skills such as construction, music, drama, puppets and balloons. You will 
treasure the sights and sounds of Russian cheers and special music in the evening rallies while sharing and 
teaching your own "special numbers" - always a big hit to the Russian teams. Your work project will be to 
continue the construction of the Teen Missions BIBLE, MISSIONARY & WORK Training Center. Your team will participate in 
soccer and volleyball scrimmages with local youth in neighboring towns, sharing the Gospel during "half-time" 
presentations and building friendships before and after games.Warm days (with 20 hours of daylight) and cool 
evenings will be a welcome relief after the Florida Boot Camp.
