Middle East (where our team went this summer) - childcare for our IMB missionaries.

Objective: 
Provide childcare for children between the ages of baby through Middle School.  Their parents will be in a training class during these four weeks.  This training class is rated as the most important training that they will probably ever receive.  We have heard reports that some of the missionaries return to their assignments after the training and have started a church planting movement as a direct result of attending this training.  We will be providing childcare from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 5 days each week.

Workers needed: 15

June 11-19, 2011

Workers needed: 15

These two childcare and Children's Ministry mission trips will be the only designated "children’s" type of mission trips for 2011 so that we can stay focused and recruit the number of workers needed.
