Thirteen
members from Ballinderry Parish Church are going on a three
missionary outreach to Mekelle in Northern Ethiopia on Sunday 6th
August 2006. Led by Valerie Ellis - Crosslinks, the all age
team comprising of teens upwards will assist Karen Salmon, Link
Mission partner with Crosslinks, a missionary organisation
working worldwide under the headline �God�s Word to God�s
World�. They will be involved in taking Holiday Bible Clubs in
the local orphanage, hospital visitation and any other practical
work required. Whilst many members of the parish have
undertaken mission work abroad before, this is the first time
the church family has sent a complete team. Everyone in the
parish is involved - some going, some encouraging, some
fundraising, some supporting, and above all - many praying. The
team have organised the following events to help with raising
funds for the trip and they would request that as many people as
possible attend either or both of these fundraising events.

some money for the trip whilst you enjoy morning coffee and
chat.

7.00pm:
Barbeque and auction of gifts, talents and promises at

welcome to come and join the team in these lots of fun - fund
raising events.
