Dates: June 20 – August 8 — Work/Evangelism
Expect great and mighty things as you head to Tanzania, East Africa, and set foot on Mt. Kilimanjaro, soaring over 19,000 feet above sea level. Imagine sharing the love of God with the Chaga people who make their home around the rugged mountain.
After training at the Lord’s Boot Camp, you bus to the Orlando International Airport, for a flight to Dulles International Airport in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Your next flight crosses the Atlantic Ocean, France, Italy and the Mediterranean Sea then over the Sahara Desert to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The team will take a continuing flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport, just a 30-minute drive from your home base at the Teen Missions in Tanzania property in Embokoyi, Siha District, at the foot of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Your time will be divided between continuing construction of the first buildings for the Teen Missions in Tanzania BiBle, Missionary & Work Training Center and hiking to remote villages around the mountain to share the Gospel using drama and puppets, which will attract many curious villagers. In addition, you will show the JESUS Film and other Christian films in the Kiswahili language.
Housing will be in tents; bathing and laundry will be done using a bucket. A visit to Arusha will give you a chance to purchase unique souvenirs of the Masai tribe, as well as traditional national clothing, drums, wood and soapstone carvings, bags, beautiful blue tanzanite stones and jewelry found only in Tanzania. Note: Members of this team should be in good physical health and free of respiratory difficulties.
Estimated Project Expense: $4690 U.S. plus $30 Registration Fee

Andrew, As many as you can fit in your weight limit. Once you are on the field, you will decide how often you do laundry depending on your free time.

My two bathing suits are camo patterned. One is blue and gray and the other is grean and brown. Do they count as military like clothing? Is camo considered military?

I can’t find the team info sheet that was sent to us. Will my son need anything besides what is listed on the regular packing list?

Kris, No, he shouldn’t. Don’t forget the visa fee, departure taxes and deposits. He must also have a yellow fever shot.

Mary, She needs to get her luggage and go to Delta Baggage Claim where we will meet her. Tell her to look for jeans, maroon polo shirt and boots (we stick out like sore thumbs…).

Jill, Unfortunately, yes. We are not sure they will require them, but sometimes they do and we want to be ready!
