The Florida Annual Conference and the Tallahassee District have been a pioneer in this concept of personal involvement in missions. Other churches may have just one or two persons who may be able to participate in such a project. The District sponsored projects solved these problems by offering a combined effort of several churches and uniting to accomplish the task. This is a unique way for individuals, and local churches to get directly involved in mission, both locally and overseas. In this program, everyone can do something to help.
Participation can become a pivotal experience.
Anyone in good standing in their local church may apply for participation in these projects. Consideration is given to person s skills and desires. Further communication will come from the Coordinator, including dates and details for the project. Normally, cost of participation on a team includes transportation to the site, nominal charges for room and board on the site, incidental expenses, and a share in providing construction materials for the project. In most cases, the work team members work with local churches to raise money for the projects.
