June 11 to August 5, 2022
India, an incredible land that stretches beyond your imagination, is your destination on this summer’s mission trip. From modern cities to rural villages, you will experience much of this culture. Your team will minister in the state of Andhra Pradesh, providing reading glasses to those who need them and aid to those who may not be able to afford it.
Following Boot Camp training, you will board a bus for the short trip to the Orlando International Airport. From Orlando, your team will fly up the east coast of the United States and Canada, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Ireland and the United Kingdom before arriving in Frankfurt, Germany. After a short layover, you will continue from Frankfurt, over Europe and the Middle East to Delhi, India. One last flight will take you from Delhi, south to the city of Vijayawada.
Ministry: While in India, you will travel to three different locations (Machilipatnam, Ongole and Vijayawada) to hold eyeglass clinics, meeting the needs of those who come. In addition, you may assist with daily medical treatments. You will help at the Sunday schools by teaching Bible lessons, phonics, quizzing and playing games with the children. There will also be opportunities to share the Gospel through puppets, music and dramas and your work projects while at the Teen Missions Bible, Missionary & Work Training Center.
Adventure: Following your project time, you return to Delhi and have the opportunity to see the Taj Mahal and to barter for unique souvenirs such as India’s brightly-colored saris, brass and wood items, T-shirts and leather items.
Project Expense: $4790 plus $30 Registration
