WHERE
Kerala, IN
COST
$2,900.00

If you are an educator and would like to bless the faculty of this amazing school, or are young at heart and want to help create an experience of a lifetime for these children, this trip is for you! India today has nearly 1.4 billion people and only 2% are Christian. Eastside is blessed to partner with the Gabriel family at the Kerala Christ Church Mission.  In the midst of the state-mandated Hindu religion, the Gabriels have been allowed to run a Christian school and orphanage with well over 2000 children. For over forty years now, they have also been able to plant churches, now numbering over 45, in the surrounding communities. This ministry has earned such an outstanding reputation for education and care that they are allowed to share the hope of Christ in this region. Eastside is assembling two micro teams to come alongside this Ministry and serve this summer. One team will be made up of educators and will serve the faculty of the school with Teacher Development Training. The other team will be a children's camp team who will host a 4-day camp on the coast for the children from the Crossroads orphanage.
