Short term mission teams or summer mission team NEEDED by The Expedition Seattle

June 16, 2009 - 2:59 PM

Seattle, WA
1 week in Summer 09, or all summer

We would like to request short term mission teams or if possible a summer mission team to help us with door to door personal contact and evangelism with neighborhoods within the vicinity of our members.

We will also be doing an open air display booth in parks throughout the summer in response to The Year of Darwin - 2009. We are putting together display boards with large quotes and pictures to be set up at various locations in order to engage people in conversation. We could use help throughout the summer with these projects. We would put folks up in our homes and feed them. They would simply need to get out here and have transportation.

Mission Trip sponsored by New Song Community Church

June 16, 2009 - 2:56 PM

Peru (leaving from Columbus, OH)
Fall '09

At this point the plan is to do evangelism and teaching, but depending on the need and the people going that could change. Medical or construction may be a possibility as well. Still very much in the planning stages. The cost of the trip will be about $650, plus airfare for each member. Last year airfare was around $1300. Most of the $650 is spent in gas to get the team from Iquitos to the village, and the rest for food, water, and ministry supplies.
