Pais Canada

Here is how a Pais team typically functions:

:: A Pais team consists of between 3-6 apprentices, who may come from several different nations around the world!

:: Each apprentice works with a partnered church. Sometimes there will be multiple apprentices working with one church. Apprentices will work within the student ministry of their partnered church, assisting the youth pastor in running the weekly program.

:: Within the church environment, apprentices aim to challenge and equip students to become missionaries within their schools.

:: The apprentices also meet together each day as a team and spend their time creating and performing ministry in the local schools.

:: The ministry can take the form of lessons, lunch clubs, assemblies/chapels, workshops, mentoring sessions, coaching or anything that allows us to serve the needs of the schools that partner with us.

:: The Pais Project was established to connect un-churched students with a local church in their area. Since the apprentices work in both environments, they become familiar faces that so many first-time visitors to church don't have, allowing them to easily settle in and feel welcomed.

:: Through continued interaction and involvement in the different worlds of the students they work with, Pais apprentices become a positive influence and a strong role-model.
