Sorry it has taken so long to get some information out. We have been looking at a couple of projects and waiting for a few things from Maranatha before we announce where we are going. There had been a project in Honduras very close to where we built our first church in Yusguare. The project would have been to build a school in Choleteca. Some of you who had been on the first trip may remember a visit to the existing school that is there now, they have outgrown that building and are in need o a bigger building with a lot more classrooms. We have been waiting for Maranatha to make a decision on weather to proceed with the project in light of the presidential problems and with the elections coming up in November. Maranatha went back in forth on deciding I they should go forward and they told us last week that they are not going to take a chance in case there are problems during the elections. The other project that we have decided on will be a church in the southern part of Mexico. This building will be a little different; it is called a one day church. The steel and the roof will go up in one day. We will also be putting up the walls, windows and doors on this project also. So the name one day church really doesn't apply. The construction team will have lots of work. During our pretrip visit we will be setting up sites for the medical team to work and a place for the evangelism team to use. The project will be in the middle of Feb for two weeks. The exact dates will be determined once we get info back from the airlines and get together with Maranatha. The exact site location has not been determined yet but it will be the Chiapas region south of Villahermosa in Southern Mexico. A couple of the sites are located near Palenque. Maranatha is still setting there schedule so that they don't back track across the country to meet with groups like ours. We should know by the end of September. Until we know the exact location and we can get down there to make arrangements for travel and housing we will not be able to give you an exact price but we will guess between 1400.00 and 1600.00. For those that travel with the main group. If you don't travel with the group your price will be different. We have been getting a lot of calls about this years mission trip so if you have any interest at all please let us know right away and we will put your name on our interest list. We need people with all kinds of skills. Block layers, concrete workers, Doctors, Nurses, Dentist, Construction workers and people who just want to help, along with VBS and Evangelism people. If you are ready to make a decision I will get the application and deposit info out to you asap to lock in your place. We will not hold your deposit if you decide to back out, once we have all the info to set the final price and lock in the dates. Send me an email at mail at berkshiremission.org and let me know your thoughts. Eric Young -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
