EMT 2023 Student Application

EMT 2023 STUDENT Application

Welcome! We are glad you have elected to apply for EMT (Evangelistic Missions Training). This application will take you between 15-30 minutes along with a parent or guardian. We encourage you to be thorough in each section so that we can get to know you and determine whether this experience is right for you. This eight-day immersive experience in Reading, PA, has been designed to challenge you to live like Jesus. We guarantee this camp will push you out of your comfort zone, but you will also find yourself full of life as you step out. It's what Jesus promised His followers! This camp is not for the light-hearted! It will stretch you physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. If you have any level of uncertainty, please consult your youth leader or e-mail us at youth@dcfi.org before continuing. At the same time, nobody can ever be totally prepared to follow Jesus... Sometimes you have to just "drop your net" and say "yes"!

I am applying for (please select one):*
- Phase 1 only (July 29-Aug 2); TOTAL COST: $295
- Phase 1+2 (July 29-Aug 6); TOTAL COST: $395
I understand that I will be charged a $50 application fee at the conclusion of this application.*
You will be redirected to PayPal for payment after you hit "Submit." Please give the page a bit of time to open before closing your browser. Applications that are submitted without payment will NOT be received. The $50 application fee is counted as a deposit towards your final payment. The final payment will be due at check-in on July 29th. (Ex. If you've elected to attend Phase 1+2, your final payment will be $345). Please note that if you've been accepted to the camp and back out, DOVE USA will not reimburse the $50 fee. If you are not accepted to EMT, we will reimburse the $50.

Parental Release and Indemnification Agreement*
DOVE USA, a Pennsylvania non-profit organization with offices at 11 Toll Gate Road, Lititz, PA 17543, runs its Evangelism Missions Training (EMT) in accordance with policies and values of DOVE USA. EMT occurs at Rosedale Grove, 1616 Vine Street, Laureldale, PA 19605.

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 following statement.

Phase 2 Application
This section is for the outreach phase of EMT (Aug 2-6) and will ask for your preference on specific outreach areas. All of these questions must be answered for those applying for Phase 1+2.
Please read ALL of the following:*
Phase 2 is designed to help you discover the unique gifts God has given you to build the Kingdom of God. With unique outreaches, you will have the opportunity to apply the talents God has given you to reach the world for Jesus. Do not be discouraged if you feel like you do not fit uniquely into one of these teams. We need your gifting! This is what Paul said: “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.” What is the point? You matter and you carry something your team desperately needs! If you are not sure where you best fit, please reach out to us at youth@dcfi.org. You have an incredible purpose!

You will be placed on one of the following outreach teams based upon your answers below. Each team will have an outreach leader, who will coordinate the ministry you will do in Reading, and team leaders, who will lead you and your team in unity and growth in God throughout the outreach.

Here are the following two outreach options in 2023:
CREATIVE ARTS TEAM: This team will focus on doing creative evangelistic outreaches (ex. music, drama, art) throughout Reading, PA. The goal will be to share the love of Christ through the creative talents of the group. Applicants do not need to have experience in these areas, but they should have an interest in the creative arts, and any experience is helpful.

SPIRIT-LED OUTREACH TEAM: This team will focus on hearing God’s voice and being obedient! This team will not have a specific agenda, but will be simply given a budget to work with and the freedom to follow God. They will then spend the next four days in outreach around Reading, PA! Applicants should be flexible, willing to take risks, and ready to evangelize. If the term "Spirit-led" makes you nervous, fear not! You will have multiple adult leaders on your team who will be with you the whole time. This will be an experience you won't forget!

NOTE: DOVE USA will do the best they can to place you on your first or second choice outreach team, but you may need to serve elsewhere based upon availability and team limitations. You will be notified of your outreach team prior to the start of EMT.
I understand how Phase 2 functions, I've read through each potential outreach team in the textbox below, and I understand that DOVE USA will attempt to place me on my first choice but cannot guarantee my selection due to availability and team limitations.
Which of these outreach teams is your FIRST choice for EMT? Why is this your first choice?*
If you selected the creative arts team, do you have any background in dance, music, acting, worship? Please list as many helpful details as possible to help our team leaders plan outreaches. (ex. I have 4 years experience on guitar and I can sing a little.)
