Hi Parents.  PVTs are a little different this year in that our usual timeline has shifted a bit. But other than that, the trips are scheduled to go on as usual.  It is time for the PVT invites to go out!  The following video will explain the process.  

PVT Process

 We are aware that not every parent gets invited to the field. We want to encourage you there are multiple reasons you may not get invited, and they do not always have anything to do with your relationship with your Racer.  Many times they don't want to interrupt what God is doing in their lives, or they feel seeing you might bring some homesickness, or they might assume you cannot afford to come or wouldn't want to.  Please respect the Racer's decision and try not to take it personally if you do not get invited to go. We know this can be a difficult thing, but usually the Racer has his/her reasons, and many times they will share these with you at some point. 

We are also aware that some parents get invited but cannot go for various reasons. We understand, but we want to encourage you to truly consider those reasons and seek the Lord as to what he would have you do.  If money is the issue, you can fundraise.  If it is work, consider approaching your boss and just asking.  In other words, do not limit God by just assuming it is impossible.  We have seen miracles worked for parents to go on the field.  If you feel drawn to go then ask God how to get there. 

Below is a video of a PVT in Swaziland that is a good snapshot of what happens on these trips.
