Background Dominica Mission Project is a CAR-IFES initiative which goes back to our last Regional Tertiary Conference. Two years ago, when we met in Barbados, it was agreed that in 2008 we would undertake a practical missions project instead of a conference in the way we have traditionally had it. In the region, we also have a concern to see this generation of Caribbean students more involved in mission. Presently, there is no student ministry in Dominica. This project is part of a whole process we want to put in place to re-pioneer the work on the island.
Objectives:
1- To bring a positive impact to the revival of the ministry among students
2- To give a group of Caribbean students the opportunity to experience mission

Dates: July 23-29, 2008
Venue: Youth Division, 3 Charles Avenue, Goodwill, Commonwealth of Dominica
Cost: 220 $US (incl. accommodation, meals and transport)
Participants:
The number of places is limited to forty (40). Your national movement will inform you about the number of places allocated to your country. This project is for tertiary students (18 + of age.) motivated for mission, willing to share their experience, gifts, talents and bring a positive impact. You have to be aware that it is hard spiritual and physical work and the mission caters for those who are serious about making an investment of their lives and ressources in building God's Kingdom in another part of the Caribbean. Of course, staffs and volunteers are also welcomed.
