Christian Aid Ministries of Liberia welcomes students to come enjoy Africa and its people and see the many physical and spiritual challenges present in this country. Students coming here will experience interacting with those living in abject poverty in various ways. This includes travelling with native CAM employees distributing food, clothing and Christian literature or holding evangelistic meetings. Students will likely take a several days long, dirty, scorching trip to the African interior in which you may be privileged to sleep in a native mud hut home and not only experience the challenges of primitive living but also the spiritual darkness and occult practices of a society ignorant of and disobedient to the things of God. Visiting orphanages and teaching at the week long Summer Bible School at Tower Hill (CAM base) is always a highlight and both activities provide many opportunities to interact with children. Ladies also spend time at the CAM base doing small projects such as painting, sewing or perhaps passing out CAM layette bundles at a clinic or hospital. For the men, there are always lots of CAM compound maintenance projects, work in the warehouse or mechanics garage, or another bush trip. Come prepared to change your schedule at a moments notice and be stretched out of your comfort zone. $2,200.00
