BUC Mission Trip 2018

The reports of the devastation caused by the recent hurricanes and earthquakes in the Inter-America Division produced a desire for a very practical and hands-on response from the British Union regional directors. After consideration and in conjunction with local government and church contacts a plan has been formulated to take a group of young people from the British Union to a location in the Caribbean to undertake a useful and worthwhile project to assist in the relief and recovery of one of the island nations.

This will be organised through Pastor Dejan Stojković at the British Union Youth Department where registrations and payments will be taken.  Pastor Juan Carlos Patrick (SEC Teens Director) has been instrumental in working with the organisers in the Dominican Republic.
