Mission trip to Guyana

An Outreach to the World

July 14-23, 2010

The people of Our Savior have given generously to missionary work in Guyana for severl years. It is time to go and meet the people.

Guyana is on the northeast shoulder of South America. It borders on Venezuela and Suriname. The weather in June is warm and humid like Florida in the summer time

Chris Klafs, the missionary appointed by the Florida Bahamas Synod, is organizing a mission trip in July and looking for others to go with her.

The destination for this trip is Skeldon where there is a camp and retreat center. The general purpose of the trip will be to be companions to the folks there. The visitors will read to the children, do craft workshops with children, visit families, do some repair, repainting and fix-up at the camp. Most people have had little schooling but English (or their version of it!) is the language. The group will be staying at the camp center and getting to know all the folks there.

Anyone over the age of 18 and in good health is encouraged to go. A passport and vaccinations that are required by the Health Department are needed. The cost is $1,200
from Tampa. Our Saviors Social Ministry Team is offering financial help.

The trip is from July 14th -23rd. It is 10 days of making a difference in a tiny part of our world.
