Ecuador | Early July

A team will be sent from CSPC to partner along with the Christian Church of Picaihua in establishing a church and missionary training school in Picaihua, Ecuador. This will be the 5th trip to the Andean foothills of Ecuador for CSPC. Are you looking for a chance to minister cross culturally? Do you have a love for working with children? A few strong backs will be needed as well for assisting in the construction of the church/school.

Over the years we have seen God at work with the local believers as well as drawing team members into a closer walkwith God. We typically have very diverse teams (ages 15-60) that in the past have drawn participants from Ecuador, Chile and Spain.

Come join us for a week that could change your life as you serve our Lord.

Ethiopia | July 10-21

CSPC will send a team to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to work alongside CSPC missionaries, Andy and Bev Warren, and their ACT (AIDS Care and Treatment) project. The team consists of both medical and non-medical people. This is the second year that CSPC has sent a team to Ethiopia. Our time will be spent making home visits to the beneficiaries of the project, conducting community medical clinics, and various children's activities.

ACT goes into the community and reaches the poorest affected by HIV/AIDS and helps them with basic needs such as medical, social, and sending children to school. They also share the Word and Love of Jesus Christ. ACT helps people regain health, hope, and life.

Physicians, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants are needed for this trip.

For more information, contact Mike Duckworth at 865-310-0815.

Uganda | week of July 12 (tentative)

A group is planning a 2010 trip to Wakiso Uganda/Africa. The purpose of this trip will follow last year’s mission of evangelism, medical, and orphan care in conjunction with Dove Church. Although they do not have a set date, the week of July 12 is the target week for departure. Trip duration will be @ 10 days.

LODGING: They plan to stay at the Speke Hotel in Kampala. For those who want more adventure and a lower trip cost, there very likely will be the opportunity to stay in Wakiso with Dove Church staff member homes.

COST: The trip looks to be $3000+; they are navigating airfares, but the fares are now running several hundred dollars ahead of last year’s cost. Certain factors on hotel will impact your cost. (Are you willing to share a room with 3 others? Are you willing to stay in Wakiso?) More specific details on cost will be forthcoming

Trip Application: If you were on last year’s trip, no application is needed; if you are new, then an application needs to be completed and returned to me. Download application.


Please email William Blount or David Schmid if you are interested or have questions. We encourage each of you to pray about your involvement in this year’s trip. No commitment is needed now, just your level of interest.

Joni and Friends Family Retreat | July 23 - 27

Retreats offer families who shoulder daily pressures of disability the opportunity to enjoy days of fun together and also offer persons with disabilities the chance to have a volunteer buddy to share some adventures. We focus on the ability and give campers the opportunity to do things they many never have done before, such as horseback riding, zip line or catching a fish. Family Retreats offer spiritual refreshment and time to build priceless relationships with God and friends as well as providing a refuge for a
family to make memories together.

Family Retreat will be July 23 to 27, in Crossville, TN. Call the Joni and Friends Knoxville office, at 540-3860, if you are interested in being a Short-Term Missionary for Retreat.

Volunteers serve in a variety of ways including being a friend to someone with a disability and helping with activities.
