Dear Africa Mission Trip Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the Maranatha Chapel
& outreach team to Africa. We are excited to participate in
the LordダTs work there in the early summer of 2006. The following is a
brief description of what we will be doing while in-country. Two teams
are being formed for two destinations. Each location will have a
different focus, but both will have a discipleship theme.
Uganda Team - will work with Calvary Chapel Kampala to participate in
evangelizing in the city of almost 2 million. The focus of the
trip will be discipleship and training of pastors & church leaders
for CC Kampala and surrounding churches to equip them in GodダTs biblical
truths. This will be in addition to a pastorsダT conference led by
Pastor Ray. Team members will be involved in the various aspects of
this outreach depending on their gifts and talents. In addition to all
this we will participate in childrenダTs ministry workshops for the youth.
Kenya Team - will work with Calvary Chapel Nairobi, similar to what the
Uganda team will be doing with Pastor Ray holding a pastorsダT conference
but we will be more structured with a conference theme throughout the
week teaching bible based workshops for adults on topics focused on
family, marriage, children and worship. Also a huge need is
discipleship of the youth on GodダTs plan for marriage and HIV/AIDS
awareness. We will have a small team of women going to the Imani
orphanage of abandoned children, a small group of experienced painters
to paint CC Nairobi and some will spend some time evangelizing in the
slums of Nairobi.
An orientation meeting is
scheduled for Saturday March 4th, 2006 in the Fellowship Hall, after
service (about 7:45pm). You are encouraged to attend this meeting
that will provide an overview of the trip, tell about our ministry
plans and allow time for questions.
We will
depart San Diego Airport on Wednesday June 14th and return on Friday,
June 30th, 2006. Total cost for this trip is $2,800.00 per
person. This cost includes your air, rooming, most (not all)
meals and ministry supplies. Everyone must show proof of valid
passport four weeks prior to departure.
Your
completed application with testimony attached is due in the church
office no later than Sunday, March 12th, 2006. Place your
application in a sealed envelope Attn: Jessica -Africa Missions.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
