The Sister Church program consists of two churches from different cultures joining together in a dynamic relationship to minister to one another and together to the world. On this mission trip, we will visit and minister to the Haitians living in Petit Trou.
Dates: 2023 Dates TBD
Destination: Petit Trou, Haiti
Trip Leaders: Bo & Casey Hilty
Cost: $1,800
We will attend church services and visit the people in the village. We will hold a one-day retreat for the men, the ladies, the kids and the youth. The goal is to build relationships, discover their needs in ministry and encourage them as a church in any way necessary.
The next day, the team will drive to Petit Trou for four days and nights of ministry with our sister church. On Thursday, your team will drive back to the Zanglais Retreat Center for reflection, debriefing, time with career missionaries and rest before flying home on Friday.
Your team will sleep on cots in the church parsonage.
You will eat Haitian food which usually includes rice, beans, and vegetables.
The following are necessary to be addressed or completed before you can participate.
All applicants must regularly attend Sunday services. Applications from other churches or denominations will be accepted, but priority is given to members of The Bayou Church.
Each mission team meets six-seven times before departure to learn about the mission area’s culture, plan trip activities, and bond as a team. Additionally, each team has a pre-departure dinner for family members as a celebration.
All attendees make three payments: initial deposit, airline payment, and final payment. Amounts and deadlines will be shared at the first team meeting.
In FIRST STEPS CLASSES, you will discover who we are, meet some of our staff, and connect with others at The Bayou Church. The classes are four consecutive Sundays, starting with Step One on the first Sunday of the month. All classes meet at the 9:30am service in the Ministry Center classroom. We invite you to jump in at any time.
