Jesus Army Training Year: Frequently Asked Questions Can I stay for a shorter time than one year? Yes. The length of stay can be tailor-made to suit the individual trainee. There are advantages in trainees signing up for the whole year, but three month modules are possible. Do I have to live in a community house? No, although this is beneficial in terms of building relationships and receiving consistent training. You can live in your own accommodation, preferably near to a community house. How much will it cost me? We ask that each trainee provides a weekly contribution of £85 (£95 in London). This covers full board and lodging and other travel expenses if you’re living in fully residential community - either by means of local employment or state benefits. What if I have a disability? We will do our best to arrange activities that suit the individual. Two key notes of the Training Year are flexibility and inclusiveness. We don’t want to rule anyone out who has a heart to serve God. Will I be expected to join the Jesus Army at the end of the course? There are no strings attached and although we do expect that some will want to join us and become church members, we realise that others will go on to commit themselves elsewhere in the body of Christ. We just want to pass on what God has given us. How do I apply and what is the process of being selected? Fill in the application form on the leaflet, putting down as much detail as you can about yourself. When completed, please send to Huw Lewis at the address on the form. We will then follow up references. Everything else... All over 18s are welcome. It is especially suitable to those from EU countries because of availability of work. A certificate is given to show successful completion of course. All trainees are expected to work locally and support themselves for the course.
