EMT 2025 Student Application

EMT 2025 STUDENT Application

Welcome to EMT! We’re thrilled that you’re applying for EMT (Evangelistic Missions Training)! This application will take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete, and we encourage you to involve a parent or guardian in the process. Please take your time to provide thoughtful and thorough responses so we can get to know you better and determine if this experience is the right fit for you. EMT is an intensive eight-day program in Reading, PA, designed to equip and challenge you to walk as Jesus did. Throughout the week, you’ll be pushed beyond your comfort zone—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally—but in the process, you’ll develop a deeper passion for sharing the Gospel and living boldly in faith. This program isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re ready to grow, be transformed, and be equipped for evangelism, we encourage you to take the leap! If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your youth leader or email us at youth@dcfi.org before proceeding. While no one is ever fully prepared to follow Jesus, sometimes all it takes is a simple ‘yes’ to step into what He has planned for you!

EMT Overview | Phase 1

Phase 1 is the foundational stage of EMT, combining dynamic teaching, hands-on outreach, and evangelism training. This phase is designed to equip you with the knowledge and confidence needed to share the Gospel effectively.

EMT Overview | Phase 2

Phase 2 is where training turns into action. In this phase, you’ll apply what you’ve learned through real-world evangelism opportunities. A key component of Phase 2 is Spirit-Led Evangelism, where teams will spend time in prayer, journaling, and listening to the Holy Spirit for direction. Together, each team will discern how God is leading them and step out in faith to put His guidance into action.

Outreach Opportunities in Phase 2

During Phase 2 of EMT, there may be opportunities for various outreach initiatives. In the past, these have included sports and creative arts evangelism, though this may or may not be available this year. We are actively praying, strategizing, and collaborating with other ministries to develop a plan that aligns with what God is doing during this time. While we work to finalize these details, please understand that outreach opportunities may vary based on availability and ministry partnerships.

We, the undersigned parent(s) or legal guardian(s) execute this Parental Release and Indemnification Agreement (Agreement) for and on behalf of the application-identified Child. We affirm that we hold legal status of parent or legal guardian of the Child. We understand that for the Child to participate in the EMT and outreach programs, all parents and legal guardians of the Child shall execute the Agreement.

We do hereby authorize drivers and personnel to transport the Child to and from EMT and outreach activities, as DOVE USA may elect to provide such transportation from time to time, although DOVE has no obligation whatsoever to provide such transportation. We agree that the Child will abide by the policies established by DOVE USA, and as enforced by DOVE USA in its sole discretion. We understand that activities such as those conducted at EMT and vehicular transportation to or from those activities are inherently risky, and pose the specific risks of serious bodily injury for participants, drivers and passengers.

Both for ourselves and on behalf of the Child, we hereby assume the risk of activities that we or the Child engages in with EMT including risks encountered in sports activities and transportation for such activities. We hereby release, discharge, and/or otherwise indemnify DOVE USA and affiliated sponsors and organizations, their employees, volunteers and associated personnel (including the owners of property and facilities utilized for the program), from and against any claim, loss or damages by or on behalf of us or the Child arising from the negligence of any DOVE personnel (including volunteers) or from our or the child’s participation in EMT activities or transportation.

We agree that to the extent we or the Child’s other parent(s) or legal guardian(s) is liable for any claim involving DOVE USA that we shall be held jointly and severally liable, together with the Child’s other parent(s) and legal guardian(s), for any liability arising from the Child’s participation in EMT activities or transportation.

We agree to assume full responsibility for any medical bills incurred, in the event any health insurance we have or do not have would fail to cover the full cost of treatment, transport, or other emergency service incurred for the Child. Should DOVE USA in its sole discretion determine that the Child must return home before the group for medical or disciplinary reasons, we hereby agree to assume any costs for such travel, including costs for meals and accommodations.

I agree to the parental release statement.
