Get Ready Get ready for this year’s Panama City Beach Spring Break on Mission 2023 Trip! So start packing your bags for an unforgettable week of fun in the sun and connecting with God! This Spring Break trip offers an opportunity to receive some of the best training in evangelism. Feeling stuck with how to talk to your friends about your faith? Learn how to come alongside their spiritual journey and join hundreds of other college students on the beach sharing about the love of Christ.
The PCB Experience: Books? Snow? Cold? Ready for Warm? It's time for Spring Break! Looking for a spring break trip that will grant you time in the sun and challenge you in your walk with God? Stop looking; PCB is your solution. Spend the week growing in your walk with God, exploring biblical truths and learning how to talk to your peers and friends about your faith. PCB 2023 will be a Cru sponsored Spring Break trip that hopefully gathers students from colleges and universities from the Midwest (Michigan & Ohio) for a week in Panama city Beach, Florida.
This PCB Spring Break on Mission trip will allow you to….
Transportation: We are trusting God for great Transportation. The usual option is to take cars or vans to Florida. We will leave from campus at 8 am, on Friday. (Mar. 3rd) We will hopefully find a place to sleep for 6-7 hours, part way to FL. (Louisville, KY is ½ way) We will arrive into Florida in the afternoon/early evening of Mar. 4th. The first Sunday is mostly a free day. We will leave PCB, Saturday, Mar. 11th, and will be back into the UP in the early evening of Mar. 12th. For safety we will have 2 people awake in each vehicle at all times. The driver & someone “riding shotgun” who will keep the driver awake & navigate.
As far as the cost of transportation, please plan on $120-140. The idea here is that the owners of the cars will not pay gas costs and will get an oil change for the use of their vehicles. This plan is much cheaper than rental vehicles. A rental car would cost $500-$600 plus gas. We will collect all the money up front and someone will the pay all the bills. We will rebate everyone at the end, depending on how much we actually spend.
Please ask your parents now about the possibility of borrowing their car for the week
Housing: We will be staying at the Sand Piper Beacon Beach Resort. (Check out the picture on the web page). (https://www.sandpiperbeacon.com/panama-city-beach-hotels/rooms/three-room-suite-10.html) It’s right next to the beach. Each unit has 2 Bedrooms and 1 bath unit with a kitchenette including dishes and pans
It has 2 beds per bedroom plus a sofa sleeper. There will be 8-10 people sleeping in each unit with a Cru house manager. (Lots of bonding time) Here are the specifics on the Sand Piper Beacon Beach Resort:

(850) 234-2154 You can pass this information on to your parents.
Spiritual Preparation: This will be a great conference and we need to be talking to the Lord about it before we get there. We also need to be prepared to be sharing our faith with people. Please read through the Knowing God Personally booklet with at least two people before we leave for the conference. Pray for our travel, safety, harmony among our group, safe running vehicles and for hearts prepared to hear the gospel. Pray also for yourself, the speakers, and for opportunities to talk to those who need to know Christ.
What to Take: PACK LIGHT!!!!!! We only have so much room in the vans. Limit yourself to 2 small SOFT-Sided bags. You can always wash stuff down there. (There is a Washer/Dryer in each home.) Here are some ideas on what to take along: 1 pair jeans, Shorts, T-shirts, swimsuit (Please be modest!), Sweatshirt (It can be cool at night) Light jacket/ raincoat, toiletries, sunscreen 15+SPF, (your pasty white thighs will fry if you aren’t careful), Bible, Notebook/paper, Pillow for travel, Sandals, Sunglasses, Beach Towel, Small Backpack.
Finances: This is the area for you to see God work on your behalf in the greatest way.

The Money Solution: God is in the business of providing for our needs. Money is not a problem for God. We can trust HIM to provide for us, especially when it will be used to develop us spiritually. God might supply using a number of means. But we have seen God supply miraculously by asking for a scholarship. By writing & asking for a scholarship from your home church or Christian friends or just people that you know exciting things can happen. If you will write 25-30 letters simply presenting your need and the reason for your trip you will be amazed at how generous people will become. (See Scholarship / Fund Development / Letters) (miupcru.weebly.com/fund-development) By personally asking for gifts for a mission trip, where we are doing evangelism, you should find that people are quite eager to give. Gifts that are given as a tax deductible gift need to be sent to Cru / Campus Crusade for Christ. See Online giving site.
Responsibilities: We will need various people to take on responsibilities for the Trip. If we split up the various jobs 1 person won’t get as stressed out or feel like the tyrant all the time. Let Dave M. know if you are interested in any of these jobs.
Other jobs maybe created as the trip goes on. Jobs: MoneyMan / Financial Female; Spiritual Guru; Trip Boss; Mrs. Maps / Mr. Shotgun; Gas Buddy; Chef Tell; Fun Fellows; Lackey; Communications;

- Because of the costs to process checks within Cru / CCC, there is a 12% charge for all scholarship checks that are processed as donations. If a local church is helping you with a donation, that 12% is not applied. $624 – 12% ($75) = $549
- You need to have the checks in hand, before scholarship can be applied to your conference costs.
