Join a great group of young men who serve at summer camps and in other mission opportunities. By being a TBM State Staffer, you learn how to be on-mission and lead others towards following Christ

Become a State Staffer and join God in a great adventure.

 

Purpose:

State Staffers are a group of on-mission young men who integrate the Gospel into their service at mission camps across Texas, so that campers may:

  • learn about the saving knowledge through Jesus Christ our Lord
  • and discover their calling in God's mission on earth

ON MISSION: for Christ, across Texas, and around the World

Who can be a staffer?

State Staffers are a selected group of High School age young men. Each young man should have a good background in Royal Ambassadors and Challengers work and/or are willing to be trained. 

The young man agrees to set aside a certain period of time for voluntary mission work and mission promotion. State Staffers assist in Royal Ambassadors/Challengers summer camps, TBM mission projects, TBM mission education activities, and promote mission participation and mission education.

What kinds of things will I get to do?

After qualifying at Leadership Training Camp, you will receive your assignments and teams for the Summer!

You will be assigned to camps based on need and your availability. At these camps you may be leading or helping with:

  • Campfire Skits & Dramas
  • Archery
  • Riflery
  • Flag Raising
  • Campcraft (Camping Skills)
  • Bible Study
  • and more!

Do I get to travel?

There is a chance that you get to travel for much of the summer!

There are camps across Texas, and you will not be travelling alone. You will have a team with which you travel and get to know. They will be shepherded by a trained TBM: RA Shepherd. For more information about travel, ask our office!

 

What happens after Summer?

There may be a service opportunity in your area that you can help with. These are not mandatory, but they are highly recommended to meet mentors and other churches nearby. You are also encouraged to work with your local church in their missions programs!

And mark your calendar! The 2nd weekend of November each year is our state event. It is called Campout & Missions Mania. We invite all staffers who served during the summer to return and assist with this opportunity for churches and families.
