About Adult Teams

If you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime this is what you are looking for.  This is not a ministry for the faint of heart as conditions are rugged—sleeping in tents in a rural bush area, bathing using a bucket, outhouses and no electricity, phones or e-mail. Although the conditions are challenging, the rewards are abundant. These orphans with their tattered clothes and cheerful smiles will engrave a lasting image on your heart.  Please prayerfully consider one of the following teams.

PROJECT

Projects vary from country to country and are based on need. Please read each team’s copy carefully in order to understand what would be required of you should you choose that particular team.  There will be ample opportunities to share the Gospel and to love and interact with the children.  You will also have the opportunity to visit a local church and school.

DATES & PROJECT EXPENSE

Dates vary according to location and the availability of the country coordinator to facilitate a team.  The dates listed on the brochure include your TOTAL time of involvement.  The first day is the day you are to arrive and the last is the day you will be back in North America.  You will have one orientation day before your travel to your chosen country.

NOTE:  All project expense fees are based on May 2009 airline costs and may increase due to rising fuel prices.  If the team does not fill to 10 there will be an added fee due to airline penalties for decreased group rates.

BAGGAGE

Your personal allowance will be 50 pounds; we will also assign a 50-pound bag of ministry provisions to you.  You will be supplied with a duffle bag and you will transfer your personal belongings to it during your pack out time.  You will also be supplied with a carryon.
