ZONA CREW

Be part of a life-changing mission experience that impacts the next generation with the Gospel.

What is Zona Crew?

Zona Crew is a team of college-aged men and women who commit a week and a half of their time to be trained in the Gospel and serve in this missions experience to teenagers who have gathered in one place from across Arizona. Christian Challenge AZ, the collegiate ministry of the Arizona Southern Baptist Mission Network, partners with Zona camp for the recruiting, training, and equipping of these college-aged men and women.

What Does It Look Like to Serve as Zona Crew?

As a Zona Crew member, you’ll arrive a few days early for training before spending five days working with teenagers during camp. You will receive detailed communication regarding departure, locations, and schedule.

What the training looks like:
  • How to pray for Gospel conversations
  • How to set up Gospel appointments
  • How to use Three Circles to present the Gospel clearly
  • How to ask for a decision
  • The schedule of camp
  • The experience you will be serving in (Zona Experience, Impact, Mission life, Worship Catalyst) and how to serve in that experience
  • Your recreation assignment and how to run it
  • Late night activities and how to run them
  • How to lead response time (a time at the end of the day when teenagers are called to make decisions for Christ)

Ensure a safe and supportive environment for all participants, including guidance on prayer and other ministry support.

You will be paired with a Christian Challenge Missionary who will pour into you, provide training, support, and spiritual investment while you serve in this missions experience

*During the week of camp some things are subjected to change. Please be flexible when this happens.
