You’ll leave Orlando Friday morning, July 10th and drive to the town of Immokolee, FL, in the heart of the everglades. There, you’ll be staying at the Immokalee Inn, and spending your time at the Immokalee Haitian Free Methodist Church. This is a church of about 150 Haitian people, many of whom work in the fields and orchards around Immokalee. They have a wonderful sanctuary, and a large “fellowship hall”, but no kitchen. YOU can fix that!

Here’s how you’ll be blessing these wonderful people in Jesus' name:
- Friday afternoon: get to know the people of the church
- Saturday morning: deliver 2,000 flyers to houses
in the neighborhood, inviting them to church and a “free neighborhood picnic” the next day
- Saturday, Monday & Tuesday afternoons: build a kitchen in the church’s fellowship hall
- Sunday: help with the neighborhood picnic, man the
bouncy-house, etc., interface with the neighbors
- Monday & Tuesday mornings: lead a Vacation Bible School for the kids in the neighborhood
Wednesday, July 15th, you’ll drive back to Orlando. That evening, you’ll have dinner with those who’ve returned from all of our mission destinations, and then join thousands of Free Methodists from around the world for the evening worship service marking the third-night of General Conference.
The following, and final, day of your mission trip will be for debriefing, sharing your experiences, and brainstorming with others who’ve returned from missions trips how to take a heart for the lost back to your home church and community.
The cost of this trip is $899 including 4 nights lodging at the Caribe Royale resort in Orlando and 5 night’s lodging (all quad occupancy) at the Immokalee Inn. It also includes 24 meals (3/day for 8 days), transportation (a van and gas) from Orlando to and around Immokalee and back to Orlando, insurance, and registration. It also includes a $100 gift to the Immokalee church, which will be used to pay for the community picnic and materials to build the kitchen.
*If you have your own transportation to get to and around
while in Florida, you can save $100. The price is only $799 per person. In fact, if you have room to bring others with you in your vehicle, we may put them with you and pay you $100 per person for their transportation.
