IBSA International Strategy Coordinator for European Peoples, Don Stuckey, invites Illinois Baptists to participate in vision trip.  Here are the details:

 

Mission Vision Trip to Macedonia, Albania, and Kosovo

April 12 - April 24, 2010

 

Randy Covington, Cluster Strategy Leader in South Europe, invites Illinois Baptists to "come experience one week of life on the Balkan Peninsula. Learn about the peoples of the Balkans, meet and fellowship with people who are planting their lives among these people. Come catch a vision of what God is doing and how you can partner with local teams in sharing the hope we have in Jesus Christ."

This twelve-day trip will allow the opportunity to visit three or four countries. There are currently nine countries in the Balkan Cluster: Bosnia/Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Greece and Cyprus. Our focus will be Macedonia, Algeria and Kosovo, but depending on the size of the team we may be able to divide into more than one group and send teams to different countries to get a more comprehensive perspective.
