Overview

This is your chance to experience the warm hospitality of West Africa!

It is one of the fastest growing cities in West Africa and they are hoping to keep the church growing at a similar pace. Our team will present a series of sermons and stories for children as part of an evangelism campaign, as well as conduct health screenings and work on a construction project.

Additional Information

Trip Leader

David Wren

David has enjoyed a successful career in healthcare administration for more than 30 years. Now God is calling him to pursue his passion for making Jesus real to others all around the world through mission work and evangelism.

Trip Member Roles

Speaker

Each speaker will:

  • present the My Friend Jesus messages at their assigned meeting site on the trip.
  • show one segment of the Jesus Film at the beginning of each night as an introduction to Jesus.
  • Be responsible for bringing the presentation kit provided by QHM.

Children’s Program Leader and Helpers

The Friendship Hour leader is in charge of coordinating and leading the children's program with the help of supporting team members. QHM provides a suitcase with a Bible story felt set, Friendship Hour handbook, and a craft package for each of the 10 meetings.

The children's ministry assistant provides support and help to the leader.

  • Song service, games, and additional activities are at the leader’s discretion. The evangelistic meetings may run longer than the children's program, so prepare to keep the kids actively engaged in learning about Jesus and have age-appropriate games or activities in mind. Uncle Arthur-type stories are sure to please young inquisitive minds.

Clinic Team Members

The clinic team members help as assigned at the health clinic and present health talks before each evening meeting. At times, they are also asked to bring a piece of luggage from QHM containing: glucose meters, stethoscopes, eye testers, eye charts, and reading glasses.

Construction Project Team Members

The construction team members put in physical labor to help complete building projects. Talk with our staff about bringing construction basics: hammer, screwdriver, pliers, wrench, tape measure, work gloves, work shoes, or additional supplies. Areas may be rugged, so closed-toe athletic shoes will work best to protect against rocks and uneven footing.

Team Outing

Take time as a group to relax, recharge, and experience the local culture.

More information about the team outing is coming soon!

Food & Lodging

Your trip donation includes vegetarian meals and double-occupancy lodging.

More information and pictures of the lodging accommodations and samples of food coming soon!
