SOS APPLICANT,

Thank you for your interest in a summer staff position! SOS is looking for approximately 45 college-age men and women with a desire to pour themselves into the lives of others this summer as they share the gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed. This summer, approximately 1,500 teenagers and their youth leaders will come to SOS to participate in one of eight one-week mission trips. With the help of these volunteers, SOS hopes to work on 25-30 homes in the inner city neighborhood of Memphis known as Binghampton this summer. However, in order to do this ministry, we need summer staff to lead these high school groups as we do home repairs with the poor and disabled in Binghampton.

As a summer staff member, you will reap the eternal rewards and blessings of witnessing God work through summer missions…AND get paid! Summer staff are paid $165 a week or $1,650 for the full term (10 weeks).

Thank you for your interest in joining SOS. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. You can email Drew Haltom at drew@sosmemphis.org or call (901) 681-9044. We look forward to hearing from you. Application deadline: FEBRUARY 15th, 2013. We will notify all applicants on or before MARCH 18th, 2012.

In Christ,

Drew Haltom, Camp Director
