We will work alongside a church that is already engaged in transforming its community. Trip participants from the U.S. participate in order to learn from the church members who host them as they become experts in sustainably transforming their community. Both visitors and hosts enjoy one another in Christian fellowship as we participate together in God’s work redeeming and restoring the world. The specific project and community have not yet been identified.  We will be working on a "homestead" project which could include building a home, composting latrines or an improved cook stove.  We will be working alongside the local church and community leaders who are actively managing these initiatives as well as the families who will be impacted by the project we will participate in.   We will know what type of project we will be doing 60 days prior to our trip.
