Window on the World

Short-term mission trip
to the Philippines

By Randal Dick

PASADENA—Many have asked when there might be an opportunity to engage in mission exposure (short-term mission) that involves the WCG.

I’m delighted to announce that the WCG in the Philippines has arranged with Northwest Christian adventures a pioneer opportunity for an outstanding short-term mission experience.

I can’t think of a better place to start a mission exposure program than the Philippines. Our Filipino congregations have an exceptionally deep commitment to world mission.

More members there have formal mission training than in any other nation in the Worldwide Church of God. More Filipino missionaries serve in more countries than anyone else in the WCG fellowship.

The July 31—Aug. 22 itinerary allows for what we hope is an ideal balance of mission exposure, mission education, fellowship and a bit of sightseeing.

Tour and travel arrangements are being handled by Northwest Christian Adventures, a Christian organization that provides professionally guided tours.

To apply, e-mail Marni Burnsides at mburnsides@stmartin.edu. Deadline for applying is May 6.

Even if you are not thinking of going on this trip, your prayers for its blessing and success are needed and much appreciated.
