Activities of Involvement
The Lee University Singers will be traveling to Germany May 10-22. The trip is designed with the purpose of ministry and cultural exchange. We will be visiting several cities including Frankfurt, Freudenstadt, Grafenwoehr, Allmersbach, Dachau and Munich. The three days in Freudenstadt is where the students will have the chance to interact with students and faculty at the European Theological Seminary (ETS). During this time, the Lee Singers will be housed in host homes and will have the opportunity to fellowship with these German students on a day to day basis as well as a joint trip to Strasburg, France. Singers will be giving a public concert in the Freudenstadt Public Market Square, the largest market square in Germany, as well as worship services in German Pentecostal churches Freudenstadt and Allmersbach on Sunday, May 17. The final three days will be spent in Munich for students to explore the city and culture individually. On the trip from Freudenstadt to Munich, Singers will be visiting the concentration camp in Dachau.
This trip will give each student the ability to experience another culture both as a minister and as a student. The trip meets the university’s requirements for an individually arranged cross-cultural experience, and while not all students are seeking GST 250 credit, those who are will have well over the required amount of time to gather the information necessary to complete the program. The itinerary for the trip is as follows:

Depart for United States from Frankfurt, Germany
Arrive in Atlanta, Georgia, concluding tour
One of our several goals will be to interact with the people in these cities and to have a cultural exchange with the students at the European Theological Seminary. At this point, we will not be hiring a translator for any of the tour, so there will be a language barrier, but with the help of the ETS and its students, we will have the opportunity to interact with the culture despite our language differences. Germany operates their economy on the Euro, so there will be a significant difference in monetary exchange while on this tour. Although we will be performing on the tour, when we are not performing during the day we will be taking several excursions into the cities and to culturally significant sites. These include castles, museums, and other historical locations determined by our hosts. During that travel time, we will be eating in German restaurants, traveling by public transport, and interacting within the German culture. Also, for five of the eleven nights, we have secured German host homes as housing for the students. This will provide the students the opportunity to learn about the German culture, gain a better understanding of it, and build relationships these families.
The Lee University Singers have a long history of international travel. One of the core values of the Lee Singers is learning from and respecting other cultures. This trip will enhance that value.
