Global Mission Trips 2011

Here are the Global Mission Trips we are taking in 2011:

MFuge @ Greenville, SC
July 25-30
Cost: $500
Leader: Kelly Neklason

At MFuge you can roll your sleeves up and get ready to jump right into ministry…our highly tranied FUGE staffers will take care of the details and facilitate the planning for each day. You and your students will get to invest your time and energy into a variety of mission projects (choose between Children’s Ministry, Games & Rec, Social Ministry, Creative Ministry or Painting, Construction, Yardwork). During the day your students will be challenged and stretched as individuals; in the evenings, you’ll have an opportunity to build group unity over dinner, worship, fellowships and Church Group Devotions.

Special Note: There must be 1 adult for every 5 kids

The cost includes all food, transportation, and lodging.

YWAM London
August 18-28
Cost: $1600
Leader: Curtis Williams

Rich teaching and testimony, fervent intercession & worship, practical evangelism and prophetic acts using the arts…

Calling the Church to come together and reach out to the hundreds, thousands of people coming to this one place at this time.

The BONES mission camp gives you the opportunity to join with others in preparing to make an impact at the Notting Hill Carnival. Specifically designed to equip you with tools, ignite you with passion and love for God and people and give you an opportunity to reach out and be part of transforming lives.

Throughout the 10 days before the Carnival there will be dedicated times of teaching, intercession, worship, evangelism and prophetic acts using the arts all in preparation for the 2 final days of Carnival where there will be different opportunities to serve and volunteer during the Carnival itself.

We use the facilities of Notting Hill Community Church and Westbourne Grove Church. The former is the church where the majority of our YWAM base attends on a Sunday and the latter we work with throughout the year, aiding them in any community projects they need.

We have a great need for musicians, for our worship times, for on the street evangelism and in the carnival itself. Music attracts a lot of attention which is unfortunately not something we’ve been able to utilize to the fullest due to a lack of musicians so we would find many ways for those in your group to be useful.

The cost covers all the food, showers and the accommodations (sleeping bags or air mattress and bedding are required as we will be on church floors).

Thailand
July 2011
Focus: Orphan Care, Evangelism
Leaders: Curtis Williams
Dates: Mid to Late July
Cost: $2800

The team will join Tess and Tyson Bush as they minister at the Hope House Children’s home – play sports, games, teach, and share the Bible. We also travel to remote mountain tribal villages to pray for the sick and share the Gospel.

Hope House Children’s Home is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Most of the kids who come to Hope House Children’s Home were living below the poverty line in remote villages in the highlands of Thailand. They are either abandoned or neglected and have no access to an education. These young children in Thailand are at risk of being sold into prostitution or child labor. Hope House rescues these children from this sad fate by providing them with a place that they can call home. Currently Hope House Children’s Home educates, feeds and clothes 45 destitute children from the surrounding mountain areas.

Tourist days may include going to an elephant camp, tiger camp, temple prayer walk, handicraft villages, and visiting the mall.

The cost includes airfare, food, lodging and transportation.
