Upcoming Opportunities
The Chapel Hill Missions staff is here to provide anyone that is interested in joining a GO Team with the information, resources, and encouragement to do so. We will explain your options and help you find a trip that matches your passions, skills and availability. We offer fundraising opportunities so that money is never an issue when it comes to deciding on a trip. We will provide training and debriefing sessions for your team so that you will feel as prepared as you can be and so that when you return you will know what to do with the experience you have had.
Teams form 3 to 6 months before they leave. If any of the trips interest you, fill out our GO team application, or contact Kathy Eliasen at 253.853.0290 to ask any questions you may have. We will be happy to help you take that first step. After turning in your application, you will be interviewed and begin the process of joining a team.

Mexico - AMOR Ministries
Dates: February 19-25, 2012
Chapel HILL'S High School ministry goes to MEXICO to work with AMOR Ministries because we believe that all students need the opportunity to learn how to serve, love and discover more about themselves through the simple act of building a home in MEXICO. Our MEXICO trip is a wonderful opportunity for all kinds of students to discover some things that break the heart of GOD and allow their hearts to begin to break for these same things. MEXICO is an amazing trip where students and adults can grow in their relationships with one another and, most importantly, with GOD while being stretched beyond their comfort zone. This leads to a discovery of just how big GOD'S world is. Many lives have been changed in the 20-plus years we have gone to MEXICO to build homes and we are confident that lives will continue to be changed for the KINGDOM because students are participating in GOD'S mission in the world. For more information on this trip please call Brad Scandrett at 253.853.0240.
