Yes, I realize we are just now finalizing the plans for the October 2011 mission but it is never too early to begin planning for the next. As you are aware 4 HIM in Africa Ministries is involved in an ongoing project focused on providing bush pastors with a working foundation of knowledge. This is done over the course of 6 1-week educational training conferences. Therefore, 6 mission trips are needed to complete a single training cycle. In addition to the pastors conference there are opportunities to take part in crusades, a new believers class (called an All Saints conference), street side/group/door-to-door evangelism, children/youth ministry, community projects, encouragement visits to churches and schools, prison ministry, medical clinics and much more is in the works....
The upcoming October 2011 mission is the second of the six planned missions. The proposed dates for the next two mission trips are April 9-24, 2012 and October 15-30, 2012. There has been some interest in splitting these missions into 7 or 8 day portions for those who are unable to commit to such a lengthy mid-year mission. At this point the split looks to be do-able but the additional costs associated with extra travel to and from the mission site is still being worked out. I will let you know as that information becomes available. For now, please put the dates on the calendar and be in prayer about them. The hardest part of any mission is saying "yes" when the Lord calls.
