Our mission trip focused on our youth and young adjults will take us to the country of Peru and we will construct school classrooms at an existing school in Pucallpa - which is near the Amazon jungle. We are planning to conduct two separate trips - assuming we have enough volunteers.
Our first week, from June 15-24, we will focus on our youth through high school team members. We will construct school classrooms, conduct a VBS program, and lead out in a medical or dental mission, provided we have a doctor or dentist on the team. We will then take an excursion to the jungle near Pucallpa.
Our second week, from June 23-July 2, will focus on our Young Adults who have completed high school. We will construct school classrooms but will not have any other ministries available for this year. That group will also take an excursion to the jungle near Pucallpa.
Our current estimate is that the entire trip (including the excursion) will run around $2,200. If you are a teacher or still in school through college undergraduate level, we will continue to fundraise for sponsorships to offset that cost. The current plan is to offer sponsorships of up to $1,000, which (if funds are available), the cost for Students and Teachers would be approximately $1,200.
Please prayerfully consider if God is calling you to be part of these trips. If you have any questions, please do let me know. We would like to understand our numbers by end of November so please let us know ASAP!
