Short term mission trips for individual young people.

Jon Bowen is a young man from our church who joined Gary and Susan for a short time (4 months) during his 'gap year'. He served on the Africa Mercy in Liberia. He went in late April and returned in September. He worked 84 hours a fortnight as an assistant cook and dining room steward. When not on the rota he helped with projects in community development such as well digging and clinic soon recovered and soon became fully into life on the ship. In September on his return he gave a most interesting presentation on all he had learnt and done. Perhaps we may be able to display some of his photos on this site at some future date.

Catrin Adey is living and working in Rouen in Northern France with BMS from the autumn of 2008 till the spring of 2009. She went for a month of training during September 2008 and from October onwards has been in France where she will be till next Easter. On her return she will travel round the country with the rest of her team giving presentations about her experiences for about 6 weeks.

Here is a blog sent by Catrin from France just after Christmas with an update of how the team is getting on and their current prayer needs.
