MISSION
ENCOUNTER 2008 July 6-12 Nassau Bahamas
Update of Project Selection
We have chosen to take as our project the
Metropolitan Churchh of the Nazarene which
is a Haitian congregation. We will have
various opportunities to work on this
project. It includes expanding the worship
platform in the sanctuary (some demolition),
wood framing and drywall to a new addition
on the back of the church, painting and
building of shelves in an office area. There
is also an upstairs room to be built above
the platform that will include the laying of
cinder block walls and other cement work. We
will also share in some music celebration
and kids ministry while we are there.
It is possible
that a few kids could be sent to the youth
hostel we helped refurbish to do ministry
with the South Carolina NYI group that is
being led by Tim Haynes.
We are extending the deadline for sign up
for the trip. This needs to be done as soon
as possible because of commitments needed to
the airlines and room reservations. All
forms and original letter about the trip can
be found on the district website and on the
NYI website.
I recently returned from a site visit and
stayed in the hotel we will be in. I am sure
you will enjoyed the accommodations.
Remember this is an all inclusive trip
covering your airfare from Pittsburg, food
including 2 meals a day Monday through
Friday (flying days you need to bring extra
money for food), your room and travel to and
from the project. Your extra cost is
personal spending such as extra snacks or
souvenirs, and personal bus travel on free
day which is $1 each way, and tourist
activities.
As we get closer to the trip more details
will be sent to those signed up. Remember
you will need a passport for this trip. Once
you sign up with the $100 deposit we will
need you to send regular payments per the
following payment schedule:
|
February 29 |
$225 |
|
March 31 |
$225 |
|
April 30 |
$250 |
|
May 17 |
$250 |
Thank you
and I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Pastor Jim Larrabee
