Thailand Short-Term Mission Trip
I will be leading a team to Bangkok and Chiang Mai in May
2015. Proposed dates are as follows: May 19 to May 29, 2015 (+/- 1 day for best
travel deal). We will be working with the Bangkok church and Chiang Mai
ministries while there, focusing on building relationships and learning from
one another. Some construction may be involved depending on what is
happening/needed in these locations. Cost will be approximately $2250-$2500
including all travel arrangements such as airfare to/from JFK, meals, lodging,
etc. Please let me know if you are interested in being part of this team as
soon as possible so we can get details worked out with the Thailand churches.
