Below are trips that are scheduled for the
future. Most trips are open to those
who would like to see God’s work in Liberia first hand. Occasionally a trip will not be open to
others and we will try to note that (and why):
July 2008 Primary purpose of this
trip is to attend the first 12th grade graduation of Suwannee
Baptist High School in Kramo Town, Sinoe County.
The trip involves 12 – 15 hours of difficult travel by truck and
lodging in the Children’s Village facilities. Leave July 27th, return August
10th.
October 2008 Primary purpose of the trip is
to support the Crown – Africa conference scheduled for early
September. Also opportunities for
others to work in orphanages, schools, medical clinics and business
environments in addition to pastor training. Leave October 25th, return
November 10th.
December 2008 This is a closed trip. Primary purpose is to take mission teams
from 12 Stone Church in Lawrenceville, GA and Cross Point church in
Murfreesboro, TN to provide hands on experience in specific areas
(education, business, medical, administrative, etc.). The goal is the growth of the individuals
on the trip rather than the benefit to the people they are working
with. Mentors have been assigned to
all participants to prepare them for the area of service that they have
chosen. Leave December 27th,
return January 10th.
