June and July
Witness in Africa- three options in 2010!! June 19- July 2, 2010, July 3-17, 2010 or stay the whole month!
This is our big trip of the year— two weeks in Tanzania! Main activities will be as follows:
Missions—We will be visiting different villages in the Singida region, building or refurbishing village church meeting places, and sharing our faith and love with brothers and sisters in Tanzania!
Sagara—We will be visiting this village, the location of the site where we hope to assist locals with building a water well for Tanzanians who currently walk four miles (each way) and must still settle for contaminated water for their families.
Safari—We will be spending 3 days on safari in the preserves of Northern Tanzania—specifically Ngorogoro Crater (home of the Big Five), Tarangire National Park (The seasonal gathering place for hundreds of elephants) and Lake Manyara National Park (famous for its tree climbing lions). This will be a great opportunity to see the wonder of God’s creation up close and personal!
