Namibia 2006... Are You Ready?
Mark your calendars. Plan to stay for a brief meeting immediately following the 11AM worship service on Sunday November 20th when we will discuss the G.O. Team 2006: Namibia trip.Who should plan to be there? Anyone who is remotely interested in even thinking about going to Namibia as a part of our 2006 summer team. We will have information on hand and be able to answer all your questions about next summer's trip. Let me repeat: if you are remotely interested in even thinking about going, this meeting is for you!
Isn't it a little early to be thinking about next summer's trip? Yes. Sort of. It is true that with our trips in 2002, 2004 and 2005 we got started after January 1st. However, we are hoping to get a little bit better of an airfare if we move a little earlier.
What can I do? There are a number of opportunities to serve with our partners next summer. Everything from manual labor to playing with and loving on orphans and vulnerable children; mentoring young adult students to providing respite help to foster families; sharing your faith in evangelistic outreaches to teaching English; partnering with ministries in the arts (music, dance, art) to computer and technical helps; you name it, there is a place on this team FOR YOU.
Where can I get more info today? Information about this trip and trip application forms will be available the next couple of weeks in the entry way of the church. You can also look at the trip weblog which is already up and operational. Go to http://namibia2006.blogspot.com and follow this trip from the very beginnings.
Are you ready?

It's never too early. We prepared for 2 years for the mission trip I went on in high school... not that I'm suggesting 2 years, but it provides time for raising funds and more importantly team building. I can't stress enough the importance of building relationships before we go, b/c those will be the people you rely on and the people who will see you at your best and at your very worst.
If you are even the slightest bit curious about Namibia I challenge to to prayerfully consider going. I started praying for the trip (not at all for me to go) in 2004, and God opened a door I never expected.
...and then there's the man I came back and married :)
