Journey Overview
When you join Summit as an IT helper, a significant part of your time is spend at the office in the city. Your IT skills to manage Windows computers, updates and other Microsoft software are needed in the team in this Himalayan country. Contribute your God-given gift for His ministry and be part of His team even for a few months. You will learn about what God is doing for His Kingdom and expand your experience of cross-cultural missions while you are serving in an international team. In this fairly remote country in the Himalayas, many people have never heard of God's love. Millions of people are untouched by the transformative impact of the gospel. This is simply because no one has been there, yet! As an IT helper you will support and maintain team IT and office work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be accommodation provided?
Your new home will be in the nation's capital. Together with other international team members you share a flat, and live close to where the rest of the team lives.

Will there be food provided?
You and your flat mates are cooking your own meals. Local Asian food will be served during trekking (lots of rice!). Be ready to enjoy the food served for the team. Please ask for advice if you have dietary restrictions.
Do I need to make my own travel arrangements?
You are responsible to arrange and pay your own flight. We will pick you up at the airport. All other travel within the country will be taken care of. Unfortunately it's not possible to stay longer, as your visa will expire.
