Short Term Mission Trips

International Mission Trips to

UKRAINE and PERU
We had two short-term missions trips in 2011 and once again, this year.  We have a vision of continually expanding our view of the mission of God through His Church and these trips are just one way of doing that.  When we consider where to go with short-term trips, one of our primary desires is to go where we can form a long-term relationship.  Though these trips may seem short, they provide opportunities to pray and lift up the Church around the world, to serve and to observe.
 


UKRAINE

Date:  June 8 - 18, 2012 - Summer Camp for Orphans
Location: Kiev, Ukraine
Hosts:  Solomensky Reformed Presbyterian Church along with MTW
Last year the Lord had presented us with the opportunity to return for a second time to Kiev, Ukraine to spread the Good News of Christ through relationship building while partnering with Ukrainian Christians in leading a camp for orphans.  Solomensky Church, a MTW church plant which we’ve worked with over the past few years, started a ministry, "Shelter",  teaching these orphans “Morals and Ethics” classes as they prepare to transition into the 'real world'. — We will once again return to host a Summer Camp. See our 2011 trip report, as well as,  www.shelter.org.ua.

UKRAINE 2011
PURPOSE: to help these orphans, who are so often taken advantage of or imprisoned as they leave the orphanage, gain the skills needed to adjust to living in the Ukrainian society.  Just this past February, the church received permission to begin this ministry and we are excited about the opportunity to be on the ground floor of this Kingdom building work.
PROGRAM: we assisted with the local Ukrainian Christians in teaching these classes, leading games and crafts, teaching basic English (as so many want to learn from Americans), and generally spreading the love of Christ through our words and actions to children so hungry for the love of God.

Last year was our second mission trip to Peru (Lima), ministering the Gospel in word and deed through a medical clinic in Man Chi, an impoverished section of this city. We worked in conjunction with the New City MTW Team and Luz de Vida Church. We invite you to join us in 2012!
