Prepare to Proclaim!

Welcome About Us Events Countries Projects Join Us News Contact Workshops

For the third consecutive year, in 2011 Barnabas will be reaching out to one of the slums in an Asian country. Poverty you have seen on TV is very different from reality, and may shock you greatly.

The differences between rich and poor are staggering. October is the best month for ministry as the temperature is then a bearable 25 degrees.

The conference will be at a Christian Centre in the mountains. With 50 local young people the team will prepare for outreach in the big city. We especially want to reach the young people. Every evening a big open-air meeting will be prepared, and we expect over 300 young people every evening! During the day the team will invite people for the evening meeting. The team will also do short street actions with conjuring tricks, puppets, sports and games.

Of course there will be translation into and from English.

We can take a maximum of 10 participants out to Asia. We work on a first come first serve, so if you are interested please get in contact with us as soon as possible.

Actions

Contrary to the events in Romania and Albania the group will not split up in different outreach teams to different countries and area’s. Outreach actions will be done from a central place from where we will send out small teams for street actions. We will be working with several local churches at the same time. Because of the primitive circumstances we will be working in it is essential to be in a good physical and mental condition. It is also necessary to have a proactive and flexible attitude. There is a lot of dust and smog in the air. There will be opportunities to visit local attractions and shops.

Project
Because of the enormous poverty in the area, we will give some examples of the help we might be able to give to these people.  Any help is greatly appreciated by both Christians and non-Christians. The average life expectancy is about 45 years. Also in the churches many people are suffering. One church member nearly lost his 2 children because of a debt of £25! Barnabas preferably supports evangelistic projects but we do help out practically as well.
