Thailand -- Warner Avenue Alliance -- August 2007
|

|
How would you like to help make an impact in
Thailand? Although the Tsunami hit over a year ago
taking thousands of lives, the work is not yet
done. What took seconds to destroy, will take
years to rebuild, and the people of Thailand
continue on the slow process of rebuilding their
lives. What an amazing opportunity to share to
love of Jesus by meeting a very real and practical
need! Footsteps has partnered with a local pastor
to help build a community center to get kids off
the streets and into a safe environment. Be a part
of the beautiful process of building relationships
and bringing hope to hurting families. Will you go
to the Phuket & Kao Lak area of Thailand to
help bring relief?
Participants on this trip will have the
opportunity to do ministry in the following
areas:
- Construction work on a Community
Center/Church
- Conducting mini cross cultural learning
camp
- Working with street children
