Previous Mission Trips
2018 Mission Trip
The 2018 Mission Team ministered in Ethiopia and Kenya from July 6th thru 20th. The team of 14 was considerably smaller than previous teams; however God knew what His plans were for the trip and the team was able to successfully accomplish all that it set out to!
Following is a list of what the team was involved with:
- Vacation Bible School - Ethiopia: The team held a 3-day VBS for nearly 300 children in Mega, Ethiopia. (our plan was for 200.... but God's plan was much bigger than ours!)
- Vacation Bible School - Kenya: The team held a 3-day VBS for 270 children in at Mwangaza Top View Academy in Golole, Kenya. This was a first for the team!
- Youth Conference: Wade Jones, Lead Pastor of Priest Lake Christian Fellowship (PLCF) in Antioch, Tennessee, along with PLCF member Dan Midgett, held a 3-day Youth Conference for nearly 100 youth (ages 18 ~ 25) in Mega, Ethiopia. This was HOH's first time to hold a Youth Conference.
- Met with Hand of Hope Orphans & Caretakers: Hand of Hope currently sponsors 62 children in Ethiopia and Kenya. Team members were able to meet some of these children, share a meal with them, pray for them, and just love on them!!
- Encouraged New Partner Church in Dukem: Team members were able to spend a short time with HOH's new partner church in Dukem, Ethiopia. We had the opportunity to meet the new evangelist who will be going out from this church.
Further details and pictures of the trip will be posted shortly. In the meantime, please feel free to visit our Facebook page for some current updates.
