Remember that we will be on a “violent media” fast during the length of the trip. Additionally, phone use will be limited during the trip. Do not be surprised if you are required to leave your phone in your room during the day or if leaders collect phones for a day. The violent media fast and phone fasts are geared to help us engage God, connect with others, and focus on serving together.
