  • Mission Report from Western Africa

    Below is a letter we’ve received from Richard and Mary Parker on the Western Africa mission. We wanted to share it with everyone so they could experience the joy being brought to others around the world through our Mission program.

    Greetings to everyone back home!

    We’re writing to give an update on the success we’ve had in the recent weeks. It’s exciting and hard work, but we’re thankful for every opportunity. Recently the church has started a new project, “Community Fostering Families”, to bring together families. The project’s purpose is to train up and resource church members and leaders to provide family support for children and adults who have been left unsupported by their own families due to sickness or death. The goal is for a number of churches in the district to seek ways to help families affected by sickness, and to offer this in very practical ways. The idea is for individual churches to take on a form of family foster care and to see this as a long-term commitment to families until they are able to support themselves once more. The aim is that this project will become self sustaining, as the participating churches become good role models for other churches, and as they seek ways to raise the finances needed from within local church and community.

    Ten churches from the outlying regions are participating in this project. Each participating church will then select 5 members from within the church who will commit to receive training in community awareness and care of people, home based care, and general education. This project is being funded by a church in the capital for 3 years. The first year the project is fully funded and the next 2 years the funding decreases to 80% and the 3rd year they will fund 50%. It is then up to the communities to provide self funding and resources.

    We’re so excited to be a part of this and for all of you back home helping to make it possible.

  • Upcoming Missions Trips for the Fall and Winter

    We have some very exciting missions trips coming up! See the details below and contact us to get involved.

    Belieze

    Join us in November as we serve in Belieze. Early adult and family registration is available online now. Student registration begins soon. Contact us for more info.

    With deeply rooted partnerships and newly developed relationships with local pastors and churches, there are incredible ministry opportunities for your mission group when you serve on a Belize mission trip. This small country is the only country in Central America where English is the official language, so it will be easy for you to communicate directly with the local community members.

    Costa Rica

    We will be joining the Costa Rica mission in November to serve the marginalized residents in the district.

    The beauty of Costa Rica will captivate and inspire you as you serve here on your mission trip this year. While partnering with local pastors and churches, your mission trip team will be able to make a difference in the lives of those they serve and experience a life change themselves. We have developed genuine partnerships with leaders in Costa Rica who are praying for groups like yours to come serve alongside them in their communities.

    Haiti

    Our next trip to support Haiti is scheduled for February. Please check back for details and registration information as it becomes available.

    On your Haiti mission trip, ministry opportunities in this mountainous country are endless as Praying Pelican Missions partners with local pastors and leaders in both rural and urban areas. In the past, mission trips to Haiti have been characterized by hard labor and construction projects because of recent natural disasters. The variety of ministry needs today range from kids clubs to business ethics seminars including service projects as well as medical clinics.

    To register today and get details about upcoming trips, please contact Sara Conor or our Missions Department.

    In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram. Propterea sicut per unum hominem in hunc mundum peccatum intravit et per peccatum mors et ita in omnes homines mors pertransiit in quo omnes peccaverunt. Sic enim dilexit Deus mundum ut Filium suum unigenitum daret ut omnis qui credit in eum non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam.
