Trip #1
Where: Wroclaw (pronounced Vrots’-waf), Poland, Zielona Gora
Dates: August 5-16, 2008
Estimated Cost: $1600.00
Adult trip

This trip will involve working with our missionaries Ted and Wendy Szymczak in Poland. There are two primary areas of ministry, one is offering an English as a Second Language camp for adults. This will allow the Gospel and scriptural truths of the Lord to be presented to families that the local Church has been reaching out to. The other ministry will include conducting a VBS program to present the Gospel to the children in that same area. This trip will be a great encouragement to the local churches of that area and will allow them to build each other up.
