4. 2 Timothy 2:2 says: "And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men (people), who will be able to teach others also" (NASB).

e. Most of the available positions involve long periods of standing, lifting objects weighing at least 25 pounds, and excessive heat. Do you know if the applicant has had any injuries, surgeries, or other health conditions that might require special placement or accommodations?

7. This program is considerably different from most Christian summer staff positions. In most programs everyone lives and works on the same property, eats their meals together and has a very structured schedule, with little or no outside influences. In this discipleship experience, each participant will leave our home base to work for, and with, many non-Christian supervisors and coworkers. They are responsible for the use of their free time. Our witness for the Lord, and the future of the program, depends in part on the behavior and maturity of our people. They will get to know both Christian and non-Christian peers, parties abound in the area, and there will be little supervision of their free time. We must rely on your evaluation if the applicant has the maturity to handle this freedom and to be totally above reproach in matters of conduct, relationships with the opposite sex, etc.

a. Please describe the applicant's moral character:

b. We require participants to refrain from the use of tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, and non-prescription or illegal drugs. Has this been a problem in the past? How recently, and would it be for the summer? (Please keep in mind, the Discipleship Focus experience is unlike camp in that there is more outside world access and freedoms including use of their own vehicle and every day interactions with non-program participants making these items more easily accessible.)
