Mexico 2010
|
Dear
Parents
and Students,
We are
excited
about our high school youth mission trip to Juxtlahuaca Mexico,
June 30
– July 11, 2010. It
continues to be an
enriching partnership between Belmont
Church
and the Arroyos and the next step for our youth in world missions. The
students
will be immersed in a totally different culture and way of life. It is
a “boot
camp” that will allow the students to experience God in new
and amazing ways
and learn about ministry outside our culture. We hope they’ll
learn to be a
missionary wherever they are.
The
trip
requires a significant commitment of time and effort. Our training
begins March
5 with team building meetings that include prayer, intercession and
local outreaches.
Everything we do is to help them develop trust and be a contributing
member of
a team who will travel together to share the love of God in a foreign
country
among several different cultures of peoples.
The
trip
will cost $1250. It
is for students
going into Grades 10, 11 or 12 or who graduate this year. The team will
be
comprised of 28 students and 8 adult leaders. Cutoff date for
application is
February 21, 2010. Team members will be notified by February 28 if they
have
been accepted to go on this trip. Two alternate spots will be
available, and
those students will train with the team. Only students who have
participated in
training will be eligible to fill a spot if one becomes available.
