Upcoming Trips
Sample Trip Schedule
Thank you for your interest in this upcoming Evangelistic Teen Camp happening from July 22-31, 2018 in Malawi Africa
This short-term Missions event is a coordinated effort between full-time missionary David Robinson as local contact in Malawi, and Matt Crozier of Charlette TN, as USA Coordinator. In addition, there are several other Christians from various churches across the USA who are participating. Our goal is to minister the Gospel to Malawian teenaged kids by using the platform of an Evangelistic Teen Camp. This effort has no special funding, budget, or resources to pull from. It is a good old fashioned “pay-your-own-way” volunteer effort. Individuals Christians are offering their time and resources to make it possible.
We are asking those who cannot physically go themselves to consider covering the cost of one or more Malawian Teens to participate in this camp. It costs us the equivalent of twenty usd per teenager to have them participate and this includes their food. These kids have no money nor do their parents so we charge them nothing to participate. If you could help that would be great as we are trying to have 100 teens at this event.
You can give through Paypal by sending money designating to “Malawian Teen” If you don't have access to Paypal, you can arrange to designate cash or check through the pastor of one of the churches involved. The carrier of this letter will be able to direct you to the church/pastor should you wish to help this effort.
Thank you,
David Robinson

Day 1: Welcome to Malawi
(Sunday, July 22)
You’ll fly into the Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe, the Capitol of Malawi Africa. There your Transport Coordinator will welcome your group and introduce you to other teams that have also flown in for this effort. He will then plan the best seating arrangements to shuttle you up to Mzuzu. Because we are situated four hours north of the airport you’ll have plenty of time to meet and get to know some of the other volunteers. Expect an evening arrival to the Lusangazi Mission Station where a delicious home cooked meal, a hot shower, and a clean bed will await you.
