Siwa, Kenya, Africa 2009

 March 13 - 21, 2009

 

See the Ministry Pictures of the project that needs to be completed.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

After you have come to the place where you believe that God would have you serve in this very challenging environment, you need to make a commitment.  You can start by making a $200.00 deposit to T.S.E.A.Inc and this will get you on the team.

WHAT WILL I NEED TO DO NEXT?

Each team member will need to get a passport, turn in their personal testimony ASAP, and make regularly scheduled payments. The first $2,200.00 is for the purchase of airline tickets and therefore is non-refundable.

WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED FROM ME?

Be willing to work on the building aspect of the trip [Building, painting, sweeping etc..]  It will be absolutely imperative that you remember we are there for what God can do through us.  We are not there for what the trip or the people can do for us.  This is a total give trip.  It will cost you in many ways and we will let God be the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Help make others aware of the Project needs.
