Leaving Soon...

The 2019 CLC Mission Helpers to East Africa are counting down the days until their July 2nd departure. This trip will allow nine CLC volunteers the opportunity and privilege of proclaiming God's saving word to more many children in Tanzania and Zambia. Some of these children will be members of CLC affiliated congregations, but most of them will not. For many of the the children this will be first time they have heard a clear and Biblical presentation of the Good News of Jesus Christ as the one who died and rose from the dead for their sins!

The nine Mission Helpers will divide into two teams and travel separately to their destinations. The two teams will fly together from Chicago to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. From there they will split up and fly to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania and Lusaka, Zambia. Buses, Dala Dalas, and rented vehicles will take them to a variety cities, towns, and villages where they will proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Please pray that the Lord would give an abundance of wisdom, love, compassion, patience, and safety to the Mission Helpers and to those they go to serve as the Gospel is proclaimed to many children in several villages throughout Tanzania, and Zambia. Pray also for the pastors and church leaders who have spent much time and effort preparing for this Gospel outreach opportunity.
