CHARIS SHALOM

KEEP WATCHING FOR UPDATES! We leave for England on January 16, 2008, and will be there until the summer. Once we are in England we hope to fill in some blanks on four outreaches for the Summer of 2008: (1) England; (2) South Africa; (3) Asia; and (4) the Philippines. Exciting stuff!!!!! We would love for you to join us on one of these four outreaches!!!

9 May 2008 - UPDATE - The Riley family will be heading to Worcester, South Africa and it isn’t too late to make plans to join us, whether in July or August!

Asia is shaping up with details.  For those who have the time to take three or more weeks, many will be meeting in England at the King’s Lodge on June 28th for an orientation.  If timing and costs of flights would prevent that from happening easily, people can fly directly to arrive on July 2nd.  You can stay for 2 weeks, 3 weeks, or the entire summer.  The costs are going to be about $200/week that you stay plus the costs of your flight.  These dates may be the same for other outreaches as well, but I don’t know for sure if costs and/or dates will vary. 

 We were joined in the Philippines by Reid and Michelle McCarty and their three children, ages 6, 3, and 1 in July of 2007! At this time we do not have another trip arranged for you to join, but please check in from time to time because we will be looking for other opportunities.  You also can consider longer term missions by going to a Discipleship Training School for 5-6 months.  For more information about DTS check out their website.  Yes, you could even take a leave of absence from your job for that length of time and I promise you will grow tremendously in your walk with Jesus.  If you have questions about DTS, please contact us; we’d love to share our experience with you.
