Hopes and Dreams Team Read to Go

This team has been preparing for a trip to Kalavai, that starts next Thursday, December 27, and ends next year on January 8! It's a whole new type of trip for us, and we've dubbed it the "Hopes and Dreams" trip.

Our goal is to help the people of Kalavai Irula Colony understand that they are made in the image of God, and that He loves them as much as He loves all the rest of us.

We will do this through various activities, movies, games, bible stories, gifts, and just spending time talking with them. We even plan a trip to the zoo! The week will be like a cross between summer camp and vacation bible school!

It is the next step in bringing the kingdom of God to this small group of people, that didn't know that they mattered to Him. They're worth it. He made them like Himself, and He died for them, and we want to be sure they know that.

So, the team you are looking at has been training and planning for the last three months, trying to get our heads around this idea ourselves, and then planning ways to communicate it to our friends in Kalavai.

We think God has given us some great ideas through some very creative people. Come along and see what we're up to . . .
