Join an Install Team
SonLight Power mission teams have installed solar power resources in schools, orphanages, medical clinics and churches. Typically, each mission team completes 2-3 installations in several locations within a region per trip. Mission teams can range from 5 to twelve members with one experienced leader. All mission team members complete a weekend training at our solar training facility at Camp Amakanata in Brookeville, Indiana.
Typical teams are gone 7-10 days. The demands of this work are physical and spiritual. Physically, the travel and basic labor of the installation requires team members to be physically fit (able to hike 1+ miles and lift 20 pounds). Beyond the SLP training at Camp Amakanata, no other work experience is required to join a team. Team members must be 18 years of age or older. Younger members (10 years or older) are welcomed to join a team when accompanied by one of their parents.
SonLight encourages family mission trips. Those without solar skills can lead or participate in Vacation Bible School-like activities at each school.
The spiritual demands of this work range from prayer support before, during and after the installation, to sharing the Good News message of the Gospel of Jesus. Often the recipients of an SLP installation are puzzled why team members are willing to leave their comfortable homes and lives in America and travel to a place so far away to do this work. The simple answer is because of the love of Jesus Christ. That same love is available to you. That is why we consider it a privilege to do this work.
