Well, we have another
short-term mission opportunity coming up the last week of July 2010. The
selection process for those involved will be a little different because of the
scope of this mission. Last year we were a part of an evangelistic festival.
The festival happens every other year. When the Italian and American
Christians are not running the festival, we come together to run E.S.L.
(English as a second language) summer camps at their Old Mill Camp, just
outside of Naples, Italy.
There are three different camps for three different age groups. Abundant Life
Church is responsible for running the third camp, which is scheduled for the
last week of July (25th – 31st) for Italian students ages 17 to 23. The team
running this camp will be limited to 10 people. There will be a screening
process as there will be demands, which require energetic, highly flexible
people who don’t mind serving in hot weather and who love working with this age
group - 40% of which will be unchurched.
A tentative travel schedule for this short-term mission trip (including arrival
and departure days) is approximately July 22nd through August 2nd. The cost per
applicant is at this time approximately $2000. This is an estimate as the final
cost will depend a lot on airfare prices at the time they are purchased. There
will be fundraising events to help subsidize the cost of the trip. If it
works out, there may be day trip to downtown Naples and/or Rome.
Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions. Unfortunately,
not everyone that expresses an interest will automatically be on the team as
there will be a screening process, but please don’t let that hinder you from
letting me know of your interest.
Ciao for now!
Dennis
