OVERVIEW OF 2008 EVANGELISTIC MISSION TRIP TO GHANA

Ghana2K8 is an non-traditional evangelistic mission trip focused on building relationships with the people of Ghana and their communities, by working hand in hand with the local church on construction projects and the provision of free medical care and educational programs, regardless of race, religion, gender or socioeconomic status.

The mission trip will be community service intensive, and will focus on completing various projects simultaneously at multiple locations.  Now is the time to begin praying about your involvement with this trip. Letters to friends and relatives requesting prayer support and fundraising assistance should begin as soon as possible after completion of the online application and submission of the non-refundable deposit:  $250 (applicable to those flying with the group from the US only)

APPLICATION PROCESS & COSTS

Interested persons should apply online. Once a completed on-line application has been received, you will receive an email with additional instructions. For questions, please contact Kwesi Gyimah at info@cymissions.org.

The total cost of the trip to Ghana is $1,600 per person. The fee covers round-trip airfare (from JFK, New York), lodging and meals, construction supplies, medicines and educational materials. Please sign-up up soon and send in your deposit, space is limited.
