TORCH 2006

The time is here for moving beyond planning and taking action to be a part of TORCH 2006. As you know, we are big enough that we are taking 2 teams this summer. The first team will depart on June 20th and return on July 1 and the second team will be in Tegucigalpa from July 20 till July 30.
Each mission will continue the work of previous summers – building, feeding, healing, teaching, caring, loving, and growing. Jesus said to “Go and make disciples” and that is exactly what happens. You can find an application right here – on the December 1 post – it’s easy to cut & past to a word document and fill in the blanks. Attach your check and mail it as soon as possible. There are only going to be about 75 slots on the June trip so you will need to get your application to me as soon as you possibly can if you are going to go in June. The July trip will probably be more like 100 however, you can’t wait too long or you will be faced with the uncertainty of rising airfares. Get me an application before the end of February (with a deposit) and you can lock your trip in at $1250. Wait till March and I can’t promise you a fixed price.
Here is the payment timeline for June –
Applications & deposits due in my hands by February 28th.
Airfare of $650 due in my hands by May 1.
Balance due by June 1 – (including the $200 pledge for benevolent work)
The deadlines for July are the same except for the final payment & benevolent dollars – the July trip deadline for those are on July 1st.
All checks need to be made out to TORCH and mailed to the address on the application. Please understand that all payments are non-refundable – if you change your mind at the last moment – tough! The money is spent and we can’t get it back.
Get ready for “another great day in Honduras”
