Port Elizabeth 2008-09
A team of around four Cambridge final-year students are planning to head out in September 2008 to Port Elizabeth, South Africa for 9 months with Crosslinks. The team will be supervised by Crosslinks mission partners, Jamie and Helen Read.
The team’s projects focus on supporting Bible teachers in the context of engaging with some acute social problems. Port Elizabeth has a mixed population and high rates of AIDS and crime. The team will serve the community in the following ways:
-
Supporting the teaching staff at Bible Institute Eastern Cape, a local theological college which equips local pastors to teach the Bible faithfully and clearly, working across cultural and language barriers.
-
Bible-teaching and pastoral work on the local university campuses, under the supervision of a long-term worker.
-
Helping with children’s and youth work in local churches and schools.
For more information on how you could support this team in prayer or financially please contact Brian Elfick or Meera Srinivasan.
