REMEDIOS, CUBA
Dates: April 13 - 20, 2024
Trip Leaders: Pastor Travis & Pastor David
Missions Partner: Bethany Baptist Church
Number of Team Members: 8
Trip Cost: $600 (includes all travel, lodging, and meals)
Our group will be assisting Bethany Baptist Church with a camp for children. We will stay at the camp all week and will help lead music, crafts, games, and Bible stories. We will also take opportunities to share the gospel with the children whenever we are able. We will also be assisting with construction projects at the church and evangelism in the community. Although some basic proficiency in Spanish will be helpful, Bethany Baptist will provide translators for our team, so Spanish fluency is not required. Because of the current conditions in Cuba, team members should prepare for the possibility of power outages, food shortages, and/or cold showers.
Trip participants must:
- Possess a willingness to engage in gospel conversations and serve in whatever capacity they are able;
- Be 15 or older;
- Have a valid U.S. passport;
- Be in good standing with ERBC (or their home church); and
- Complete a background check through ERBC.
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
Dates: July 28 - August 4, 2024
Trip Leader: Pastor David
Missions Partner: GraceWorks Alaska
Number of Team Members: 15-20
Trip Cost: $1,250 (includes all travel, lodging, and meals)
We will be returning to Anchorage for the fourth year in a row to work with GraceWorks Alaska and participate in their summer park outreach. We will lead the park outreach program, which will include giving the children a snack, leading them in music, crafts, and a Bible lesson, and playing games with them each afternoon. We will also participate in service projects in the Anchorage area. And we will get to see some of Alaska's beautiful scenery along the way. This trip is for anyone with a heart for ministering to children who have not grown up in church and who often come from difficult home situations.
The GraceWorks program involves long days and a lot of physical activity. Please take this into consideration when applying. Trip participants must:
- Possess a willingness to engage in gospel conversations and serve in whatever capacity they are able;
- Be 16 or older (unless accompanied by a parent or guardian);
- Be in good standing with ERBC (or their home church); and
- Complete a background check through ERBC.
