BCAY Serve the Nations Trip to Ghana
Dates: 8th - 18th March, 2012
Application Deadline: Sunday October 28th (by midnight).
Apply here!
BCAY’s Serve The Nations (STN) Team is organizing a Kingdom Cultural Exchange trip to Ghana for Spting break 2013! We will be working very closely with the youth of Living Streams International Church in La, Accra. Together with the youth of the church, STN will be teaching the New Horizon Special School (with handicapped children who need special care), as well as mentoring high school students in an underserved part of the La Township, Ghana. STN will also participate in a annual medical drive, providing free healthcare screenings and signing up people onto the national health scheme, together with healthcare professionals in Ghana and the church. But that’s not all! STN will also explore World Heritage sights and other touristy activities in Ghana! Our motivation for this trip is to fellowship with the church, thereby gleaning the move of God in other parts of the world whilst inspiring the youth of Living Streams to take up the mantle of serving their community! For us, we anticipate that we’ll be impacted and ministered to in such a way that we won’t leave Ghana the same! To learn more, email:metabel.markwei@yale.eduu or efe.ghanney@yale.edu
