We call it the Fleet, or the FLT. And it actually stands for something - Field Leadership Team.
And there really is nothing like it.
Our plan and prayer is to have FLT in Germany, Honduras, Houston, Japan, and New York next summer. We need (and our missionary partners need) the fleet. Here are three reasons you should consider joining the FLT next summer.
1. Learning to Lead.
At iGo, we want to develop the next generation of leaders. Let me let you in on the secret to how we have done that so well for the last 20+ years. We let students lead. We believe you learn how to lead when you are leading others with real assignments and real stakes. The missionary team is there to guide you, but you will grow as a leader in this experience in exponential ways.
2. Diving into the deep end.
As an FLT you will be in your city for several weeks, if not the whole summer. You will really get to know the work and really get to build relationships with the people. Do you already have a heart for people group you've worked with? Or ready to develop one? This is the way. You will also go really deep with your FLT members along the way. It's truly a win/win.
3. Doing life with M families.
All three of these reasons are incredible, but we might have saved the best for last. As an FLT member, you will do life with the best missionaries out there. You will become part of their family as you join them in the incredible work they are doing. Note: MK's (missionary kids) are the best.

Bonus - don't just take our word for it.
Kristin Schroder is an iGo FLT from back when we still called them JSI's. In our latest podcast episode, Kristin shared with us how God used her three summers in Japan to make a long-term impact on her life.
Check it out and hear
from Kristin how great it was to do life with the missionary family, go deep with the people of Japan, and learn how to lead through leading.
We love Kristin's story. Now it's time for you to go get your own.
