Trip to Kenya

Hello! Welcome to the official blog of the Mission Bay Community Church trip to Bungoma, Kenya, in August 2008. This blog will contain updates, prayer requests, photos, plans, and all relevant information for our trip next summer. Questions about this trip? Here are some answers:

Q: When are you going?
A: Most likely August 2008, but specific dates haven't been nailed down - stay tuned!

Q: How long is the trip?
A: Two weeks

Q: How much will it cost?
A: It should be between $3,000 & $4,000 per person, including airfare, transportation, food and lodging.

Q: Do I have to come up with all that money?
A: No. We have sources from our denomination that will help and we will also be hosting some fund-raising events to help defray the costs.

Q: Who can go on this trip?
A: ANYONE! Don't feel like you have to be part of our church to go. We will be having meetings and gatherings of folks who want to go and we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other.

I hope this gives some basic info on what's going to happen. Add this to your reader and keep checking back as we get ready to serve the people of Bungoma.
