PUT YOUR SPANISH &/OR CONSTRUCTION SKILLS TO USE IN OUR VERY FIRST SOUTH AMERICAN MISSION TRIP!

You’ll get a chance to build relationships while working side-by-side with the Peruvians. While we’re in country, we’ll also have the opportunity to see the greatest Incan ruins (and UNESCO World Heritage Site) Machu Picchu! Led by Jason Hubbert, this is an experience that will change your life!

Swaziland
May 13-29, 2012
TRAVEL TO AFRICA AND FORGE RELATIONSHIPS WITH BROTHERS AND SISTERS AROUND THE WORLD WHILE WORKING WITH THEM TO BRING HOPE AT THE EPICENTER OF THE HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC. Our on-going partnership with Bethany First Nazarene and Nazarene Compassionate has taken us to Swaziland five times in the last six years. You’ll work in community gardens to bring nourishment to the very poor, go out with the HIV/AIDS Task Force as they care for the very sick, and play with AIDS Orphans and at-risk children, all while bringing the Hope of Christ and being given the Hope of Christ. Plus, you’ll be going to Kruger Wildlife Preserve, the greatest and one of the largest game reserves (think lions, giraffes, elephants, rhinos) in Africa. Led by Chaplain Brad Strawn and Meghan Mahn, after Swaziland, you will never be the same!

Haiti
May 13-22, 2012
THE CHURCH IN HAITI IS EXPLODING EVEN AS IT IS BEING ROCKED WITH EARTHQUAKES AND DISEASE. BE A PART OF THIS UNIQUE MOVEMENT AS WE RETURN FOR THE THIRD YEAR! Haiti is over 5% Nazarene, making it the largest Protestant denomination on the island, and these people desperately need church buildings. You’ll be working to build a church, but also working with children in special programs, building relationships with Haitians, seeing the beautiful and impoverished island, and having the adventure of a lifetime. If you have medical skills (Nursing and Pre-Med majors), you’ll also have the opportunity to help in a medical clinic. Missionary Howard Culbertson and Rhea Woodcock are leading this trip to one of the economically poorest but spiritually richest places on the planet. Do not miss it!
