What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

Students at the Center

YOUR $3285.00 trip fee includes Round trip air travel from just about every major city worldwide. This opportunity is open to everyone! Your team member fee also includes hotel, camp style, and host lodging, most of your meals, ground transportation, medicines for the outreach, and some of the materials related to the project. Our team will be working closely with a newly-formed rural secondary school to help with on-going construction needs for a desperately needed classroom. This is a great secondary school that is located in a slum and caters mostly to orphan chlldren. It is located n the mountains of Western Province. Your team will work alongside locals helping to provide the labor to make concrete blocks, dig the foundation, make bricks, dig pathways, mix concrete, and do whatever else is necessary to help make this dream a reality.

We will also host at least two community-wide primary care medical camps with oversight from the Ministry of Health…and you will be helping to serve them! There is always something to do even if you just hold babies, hold a Grandma, or pray with those who have never seen a doctor before. You will build lifelong relationships!

We'll also interview some of the students in hopes to find sponsors that will provide inexpensive scholarships to help pay for their school fees.

And we promise not to wear you out. Your team will also find time to visit Lake Victoria, the second largest fresh water lake in the world. Past teams even made a side trip to the Equator which is always exciting. You and your team will also take part on a day time, Game Drive Safari to see the animals at one of the famous Kenya game parks.

Remember: Experience is not required. A willing heart to serve the poorest of the poor is all that is required. We will debrief before returning home. This is an exciting, God serving opportunity and it will change your life!
