Guyana South America

Expedition spent a month in Guyana with Street Challenge ministries. They were involved in the Child sponsorhip program: visiting children, families, and distributing the monthly food supply. The team also did varous church services and tent meetings; construction; children's ministry; HIV/AIDS ministry. It was a life changing experience.

Saugeen First Nation Junior Highs

Expedition went to Chesley Bible Camp to run a weekend retreat for Saugeen First Nation Junior highs. What a great time! It was a challenge to put all the knowledge they learned from the seminar on how to lead youth weekends into practice. The combination of First nation culture and Junior high culture led to a very exciting weekend!! On the long weekend in May one of the expedition team members volunteered at Pitch and Praise, because of the experience they gained from doing this retreat!

Expedition Toronto

The team spent 1 week in inner city Toronto working with Centre for Student Missions. They were involved in soup kitchens, food hampers, bed making, and other forms of street ministry. The expedition team joined the group from Emmanuel bible college over the reading week.

Expedition Montreal
The team spent 2 weeks in Montreal with Donald and Lorraine Gingras "Heart Cry for Quebec". What a great opportunity to be involved in "Love in action" projects of painting, cleaning, fixing up people's homes for free! The team also put together 2 valentine dinner outreach events working with the home churches in the area. These were very successful. For some, the language barrier made the trip even more of an adventure!
