Description

Experience God's awesome creation as you serve Him deep in the Amazon Rain Forest. Here you work alongside the students running children's programs and visiting with the teens of local youth groups. You will be involved in various projects such as building a fence and stable for the livestock, a tower for the water tank and a bathroom block for Boot Camp. Then you will board the boat, "Light of Guama", and spend a week cruising through the jungle on the Guama River reaching out to people through children?s programs and evangelistic films. Location: Your summer will be spent in various locations in the country of Brazil. You will begin your ministry at the Teen Missions in Brazil BIBLE, MISSIONARY & WORK Training Center located, in a deep jungle setting, in Sao Miguel do Guama. You will also spend a week cruising through the jungle on the Guama River reaching out to people through children?s programs and evangelistic films. Sightseeing/Souvenirs: There will be a number of shopping opportunities where you can purchase: futbol (soccer) shirts, machetes, hammocks and Indian artifacts. Sightseeing in Belem and an authentic churrasco banquet (Brazilian BBQ) will complete your Amazon adventure. Housing: Housing for this team will vary between dorms and tents. Bathing and laundry will be done using a bucket. Travel: After Boot Camp, you will travel to the Orlando International Airport for a flight across the Florida Keys, Cuba, Caribbean Sea and the vast Amazon Rain Forest, before arriving in Sao Paulo, Brazil. From here, a connecting flight takes you to Belem, Brazil, located on the Amazon River, near its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean. A three-hour bus trip takes you through the rain forest to the Teen Missions in Brazil BIBLE, MISSIONARY & WORK Training Center.
