Short-Term Mission Trips

Our short-term mission trips are designed to open your spiritual and physical eyes to what is happening in Eastern Europe. You will see horse drawn hay wagons slowly moving down the road, and at the same time see young people using cell phones riding on top of the stack of hay. You will see large eight and ten story buildings that were built by the communists, that are gray and foreboding, that housed hundreds of families, and yet nearby you will see small quaint homes that are beautifully decorated with flowers, carefully planted all around. But more importantly, you will meet wonderful people who love the Lord, people who went through the crucible of testing under communism, and their pastors who are reaching their fellow countrymen for Christ.

These trips will provide you with an opportunity to share your faith with children and adults in the country that you visit. You will make life long friendships with fellow believers. When you return home you will realize that this short-term mission trip has changed your life forever.

 


Short-Term Mission Trips Scheduled for 2011

Romania - July 9 to July 23, 2011 (Two weeks)

A team from Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church and Arcade Church will be traveling to Romania.  The first team meeting will be on Sunday, January 23, at Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church at 12:30 PM in the Adult Ministry Center.  It is still in the planning stage, but some of the ministries being considered are Vacation Bible School, sports camp for basketball and soccer, computer training, construction work, medical/dental care and teaching English.  The interest and skills of those who feel called to be a part of the 2011 team will be the determining factor in the final selection of activities.  If you think God is calling you to participate in Romania, please contact Jerry Owen at (916) 966-3682 or by email at jerryandpatowen@yahoo.com
