Beaumont, TX March 15 – 18th. Spring Break Thursday thru Sunday
· We will work with Amelia Baptist Church (Pastor Cky Carrigan) on west side of the city
· The church has modern facilities for >500 people and runs <100 people. Pastor Carrigan became Pastor in Oct-Nov, 2011. New Pastor, fresh energy, time to get word out to the area that the LORD is doing a new thing at ABC.
· The nature of the work is unknown. It will include area evangelism—probably door-to-door and possibly a block party at the church. It will also include a ministry of encouragement to the church family that is an older congregation. That might mean our team puts on a banquet for the church one night—set up, prepare, cook, serve, clean up, childcare so that the pastor can have his entire congregation in one place at one time in order to share vision with them.

Tallinn, Estonia May 25th – June 2nd. Friday thru Saturday
· We will work with missionaries Tom and Jennifer Thompson.
· The nature of the work will be distribution of tracts person to person and an American football camp. This is based on the success of the November, 2011 trip at which 3,500 fliers were handed out person to person, had >50 full gospel presentations, and ran a football clinic on the fly that was attended by > 50 middle schoolers and high schoolers. This effort also produced 4 converts by the grace of God.
· This trip is on Memorial Day week and thus may only require taking off 4 work days.

Budapest, Hungary June 22nd – 30th. Friday thru Saturday
· A Baptist church of <150 people called a new Pastor from Illinois this past August, 2011. He pastored in Illinois and did this theological training at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Again, with a new pastor and fresh energy, this Hungarian congregation needs help getting the word out to the area that the Lord is doing a new thing.
· We will target children for sure and possibly teenagers. Area children will be targeted through backyard bible clubs or possibly a VBS at the church. additionally, team members will have the opportunity to go into orphanages and a women’s shelter to share the gospel.

London (Olympics), England July 24th – August 3rd. Friday thru Saturday
· The exact dates within this time frame are still up in the air.

· The nature of the work will be tract distribution and one-on-one evangelism encounters.
· We are working with a 3rd party organization that the International Mission Board uses to facilitate teams coming in. This organization operates a fairly large retreat center in London. Our team will stay at the retreat center at a very affordable rate.

Sturgis, South Dakota August 3rd – 10th. Friday thru Friday
· This will be our 4th time to go to the Sturgis rally with Hellfighters Motorcycle Ministry.
· The nature of the work is tract distribution and one on one evangelism encounters. As well, team members will serve at/through the Mission at the Cross mission in Sturgis, where the police will frequently drop off drunks and people will show up when they get lost from their groups or are just overwhelmed.
· You do not need to be a biker to go on this trip. Most of the team members we send are NOT into motorcycles at all. They are into reaching lost people.

London, England September 14th – 17th. Friday thru Monday
· We will work with missionaries, Andrew and Sarah Bunnell. He is the Pastor of Southside Baptist Church in London, a congregation that had 7 people last April when the Bunnells arrived and now runs over 40. They have had almost all conversion growth. We will go door-to-door in the London community sharing the gospel as well as handing out tracts in busy areas in driving distance to the church.
· This will be the second trip to work with the Bunnells in London.

· Team members will have the opportunity to walk in Paul’s footsteps in Athens, Corinth, Cenchrea, Thessaloniki, Philippi, and Berea.
· Our most recent trip was our most successful/productive with seven teenage boys becoming Christians. This has led us to target teenagers on our 2012 trip. Our plan is to take advantage of the many public basketball courts in the housing areas of west Thess and run basketball clinics that will draw teenagers. Team members will also do tract distribution out on the streets.

Marseille, France November 2nd – 10th. Sunday thru Monday
(Project Northern Lights)
· This is our second trip to this project site located just 45 minutes west of the French Riviera.
· The nature of the work is Bible and tract distribution. Each year, 100,000s of North Africans pass through the ship/ferry port of Marseille to see family members in North Africa. They wait many hours and sometimes even days in their cars to get their turn to drive onto the ferry that will take them from southern Europe to North Africa. Project Northern Lights is an IMB staffed/run ministry that takes advantage of the opportunity to access these Muslims sitting in their cars. Our team will go car to car distributing packets that contain a Bible, the Jesus Film in their language, and tracts.
