Mission International's mission team to the Maasai people in Kenya is gaining ground. A small number of prospective team members have already expressed and interest and have taken the first step of completing and submitting an application form after enquiring about the team. Now others are keen to get on board too.
Our intention, as part of the support given to the Maasai people would be to provide Bibles in their local language at a cost of approximately £5 each. If you would like to contribute to this please use the one-off donation or regular giving bank mandate links on the right hand column of this page.Skills required:
Team Activities: Mission Teams are particularly geared up serve the indigenous communities by sharing the Good News about Jesus Christ, serving in practical projects and ministering to adults, children and youth. Team activities vary according to country and host organisation requirements.
Mission International is not a 'mission tourism' organisation but it if often possible to include some interesting activities into our programme of events although these can include a further cost.
The team visited the Anglican cathedral and hospital complex in Matana on the way to Rutana. The Burundian Archbishop showed them round the facility which is in need of a wide range of help and support. The operating theatre is pictured below.
By the time the team reached the villages surrounding Rutana there were hundreds of people waiting for medical and dental care. The folks stood in the sun for days as the medics methodically worked their way through as many patients as possible. Not everyone could be seen, it was sad to say goodbye, in particular to those who could not be helped as a result of time constraints as well as the lack of medicines and the need for more radical hospital treatments.
Here patients are treated with a mobile dental team in a rudimentary surgery set up for the occasion.
Although people came to have their physical needs met they also needed spiritual support. The tea also preached to the waiting crowds seeing many respond positively to them. To find out more on our Medical teams please visit http://missionmedics.wordpress.com/ 
One team member was intrigued by the way mothers in Burundi carry their babies and decided to give it a go.

Team members from Port Seton and other friends were our hosts for the day and laid out beautiful meals for us, everyone expressed their gratitude for their hard work.
Team members receive their instructions, a session of testimonies was also arranged where some team members practised the skills they will need for their time on team.
