Dates: June 20 to July 28, 2023
Preteen Trip ages: 10-12
What? A Preteen team to South Africa? What better way to get your feet wet with the missionary call than to travel to South Africa and minister to the people who are so in need of hearing the Gospel message of Jesus Christ!
Ministry: Your project for the summer is to continue renovations on the buildings at the Teen Missions South Africa base—painting the buildings and mixing concrete for sidewalks. You will also assist the Bible school students in their Sunday School ministry, sharing the Good News of Christ through dramas, puppets, Bible stories, and songs with the children and parents that attend.
Travel: After Commissioning, you will bus to the Orlando International Airport for a flight to Newark, New Jersey and from there travel across the Atlantic Ocean, to Johannesburg, South Africa. From the airport, you will bus two hours to the Teen Missions in South Africa base near Pretoria.
Adventure: An overnight trip at a Safari camp will give you the chance to see the “Big 5” animals (cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino). Other animals that you may see are giraffe, baboon, zebra and antelope. Bartering in the markets for wooden animals, brightly colored clothing, beaded jewelry, and baskets will be a fun learning experience for you!
Project Expense: $4790 U.S. plus $30 Reg.
