Intercessory Trekking Teams
In 2007 AM-CCSM conducted the first Intercessory Trekking Team. The team visited an unreached Tibetan minority people group in a remote area of Western China where two of our full-time workers have been working for a number of years. Through amazing dreams given to them on the same night, the Lord gave this couple very clear direction in answer to their prayers as to the unreached people group He was calling them to work with. As far as we are aware, up to that point in time there were no long-term workers among them.
“Go out through the gates! Prepare the highway for my people to return! Smooth out the road; pull out boulders; raise a flag for all the nations to see.” (Isaiah 62:10)
This people group live in an isolated, mountainous region and for many of them life continues as it did hundreds of years ago. There are few roads into the villages and the only way to reach the people is along walking trails. An additional challenge is the high altitude, which ranges from 2000 to 3500 metres. However, the reward for the ‘hard slog’ in climbing the mountain trails is that the scenery is breathtaking! As such, this trip is designed for those who not only have a heart for intercessory prayer amongst an unreached people group, but who are also younger and/or have a reasonable level of fitness and are accustomed to walking longer distances with a backpack. While the team is trekking, the accommodation will be in either tents or basic stone houses with no showers or toilet facilities.
The minority people you will meet are colourful and hardworking. Whether you are watching yak being smoked over a pit or sleeping in hand-built stone houses, you will be sure to enjoy the feeling of stepping back decades in time and relish the fresh air and stunning scenery. We know this Tibetan people group will touch your heart as you get a glimpse into their culture and way of life and begin to lift them before the Throne of Grace.
If you are interested in being a part of this team and feel that you satisfy the health and fitness requirements, or if you would just like further information, please contact your local AM-CCSM office. If you have been on previous teams with AM-CCSM, your original application will be sufficient as long as your details have not changed, but you will need to complete a special health/fitness form along with an agreement/release form.
