It’s official! Wycliffe is sending a Discovery team to Mozambique in 2010. The dates are May 31 to July 9, 2010. If you are interested in cross-cultural ministry, are at least a college junior and have a desire to serve God with your talents this might be right for you. And plus you could visit me. Wouldn’t that be cool?!?

From the website:

So, what is Discovery?

• A 6-8 week trip overseas that connects you directly with long-term staff and translation work in progress—just long enough to see a more accurate picture of what missions is really like.
• A time to learn and put into practice language and culture acquisition skills through a visit to a translation project and a village stay.
• A team of incredibly diverse and talented people who work together through the rigors of living cross-culturally.
• A pre-requisite. Your Discovery trip could help meet requirements for long-term missionary service or could qualify for college credit or college internship requirements. Ask your adviser.
• A personal process. Each trip is unique to the location and the skills of the individuals involved.

I’m going to be coordinating the trip in Mozambique.  A number of the readers of this blog are interested in Bible translation and overseas ministry. This might be a great way for you to get first-hand experience and also be a practical help in any of several projects in Mozambique including:

I’d love to have you visit us in Mozambique. Trouble is so many of my readers are old people. The recommended age for this trip is 21 to 35!
