2008 Mission Bible Conference in Addis Abeba

The dates for the January mission to Ethiopia are January 17-27, 2008 - LORD willing.

The main purpose for this team will be to host the 2008 Mission Bible Conference in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia. We also hope to take a small medical team on this journey.

The cost should be no more than $2400 per person (or less depending on the number traveling generally about $2200 pp). The team will be housed at a conference center in (or near) Ethiopia's capital city Addis Abeba. All meals, transportation and lodging from Memphis departure and return are included in the trip cost (up to 2 nights and 6 meals in Europe included --additional nights in Europe not included).

The needs are for: VBS (missionary children), women's ministry, medical personnel, seminar instructors (for missionaries and family members), etc.

The team plans to depart from Memphis on January 17 (one night in Europe in route) and arrive in Ethiopia on the evening of Saturday, January 19. Sunday, January 20 the team will go to various churches associated with IOI and spend the afternoon preparing for the conference. The conference begins Monday afternoon, January 21 and concludes on Friday morning January 25. Many team members will depart on Friday to host a clinic in the countryside. Saturday will be a sight-seeing/shopping day with a late evening departure for home with a Sunday afternoon/evening arrival in Memphis on January 27. (There is an option to spend a night in Europe on the return with a January 28 return). The stopover will most likely be Amsterdam, Holland or London, England. Team members may also choose to extend their stay in Ethiopia where they can go on safari or take a "historic tour" which includes many castles (Gondor) and famous rock-hewn churches (Lalebella). Additional expense.
