Projects/Trips
We are interested in hosting construction teams of 4-8 members, for 10 days at a time from March - September 2011.
We are open to working with your schedule.
The teams will work on:
- Ministry Center & Cafe Renovations: Electrical, Plumbing, Flooring, Tiling, Woodwork, Kitchen and Bathrooms.
- Missionary Housing: We have some housing needs for new missionaries… like they need a place to live! Construction A-Z skills appreciated..
- We will take care of your accommodations, meals and transport. You organize your own tickets here and bring a donation toward the construction materials (determined by each group).
This is a great opportunity to build relationship, experience culture and bless the ministry in Ukraine.
Short Term Trips and Visit Information:
Outreach Application Form PDF (you may have your own, that’s fine, but we still need to know WHO is coming for medical and emergency contact info)
Travel Baggage Info Click Here for allowances (they actually let you check luggage slightly larger, so it’s not exact, however weight is exact).
Helpful Tip: wear ‘customs friendly’ clothing and shoes. The less you have to take off and put back on the faster the group can move. If you have a metal plate in your head, you can leave it.
