Upcoming Trips

2024

Divo – July 17-28 – FULL

$3,450

The city of Divo is located roughly three hours northeast of Abidjan.  With a population of 400,000, Divo is considered to be the sixth largest city in Ivory Coast.  Two national Independent Baptist pastors are laboring diligently to reach Divo for Christ.  We look forward to serving alongside them during our first trip to Divo.  What an exciting opportunity this is to reach the people of Divo through medical missions!

Bingerville – Oct 24 – Nov 2 – FULL

$3,296

Bingerville is our ministry base in Ivory Coast.  Twelve villages are located right “on our doorstep” in the outlying areas of Bingerville.  Three of these villages have ongoing ministries.  We are targeting Bingerville in 2024 with a goal of extending the scope of evangelism in our village community.

Medical Missions Outreach (MMO) is hosting the Bingerville trip.  Sign up via MMO’s website at https://medical-outreach.com/get-involved/calendar 

2025

Kanoua – March 12-23

$3,450

The city of Kanoua is located in central Ivory Coast, just outside of the country’s second-largest city, Bouaké.  Bouaké is home to the Baoulé people.  The Baoulé are widely known for their warm hospitality and openness to outsiders.  The city name Bouaké actually comes from two Baoulé words:  “Boua” which means sheep and “ké” which means dry.  For centuries, Bouaké was an important trade stop where the Jola people would dry and sell sheep skins.  Today, many Baoulé are “dry” spiritually as they wait to hear about new life in Christ.  We are excited about this opportunity to bring medical missions to Kanoua for the first time.  We will be partnering with national Independent Baptist Pastor Kouamé and his young church plant.  Join us for this amazing trip!

   

The place God calls you to is where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
