Summer 2006 Trip Dates and Info

ROCKHarbor will be sending two teams out to Namibia this summer and give the life-changing opportunity to those who feel called to serve God's children in Africa.

The first team will depart 6/29 and return 7/17; the second team will depart 7/16 returning 8/1.

Teams will stay at The Ark, which is home to about 40 AIDS orphans, giving the children some much deserved love and attention while helping out the staff. Days begin with incredible sunrises and end with 360 degree sunsets that are unique in the world. The air is filled with possibility and the sounds of the children's singing praise songs to our Lord. They pray without ceasing in Afrikaans and English and with a heart that is truly filled with faith and love for their Father.

No two days are the same as each is completely spirit led. It is such a joy to start the day with expectation and a servant's heart surrounded by those that share the desires of your heart for service. We will visit the public schools and teach the learners an abstinence based program about sex and God's plan for their bodies. We will bring the truth of their eternal value and give them the tools to change the AIDS crisis in their town and country. We will also visit those who are suffering from AIDS in the town (Blok E) bringing them food, clothing and prayer. We will bring hope, be love and see God at work in a place where there is little else.

We will come back changed, blessed and transformed by what we witnessed. We will know that God used us to be His hands, feet and heart to our brother's and sister's in Namibia...lives will be saved, redeemed and enriched.

Applications are available on ROCKHarbor's website and on the patio - they are due no later than 2/12. As soon as they are turned in an interview will be scheduled between you and the team leaders.

Mandatory Training Dates: March 5, March 19, April 2 (all RH missions training)

April 9, April 23, May 7, May 21, June 11, June 25

The approximate trip cost is: $3300. We help you with the entire fundraising process and while this seems like a lot of money - God's provision is so great and the amount has always been raised by past team members. Each team member will be responsible for a $250 deposit.

Please contact Monica Harter a monica @ monicaharter.com with specific questions.

Africa Video

We created a video/DVD for ROCKHarbor to play on the patio during the month of January. It is currently playing. It may also be sent to all the ROCKHarbor life groups to view. You can see the thumbnail web version here. If you would like a copy of the DVD send Wood an e-mail. He'll probably just send you one for free. His e-mail is: wood - at - side8.com.

Story Wall at ROCKHarbor

The Africa team has the Story Wall at ROCK Harbor for the month of January. Well, most of the month, it is supposed to go up today. One of the ideas we had was to turn all of our pictures into a photo mosaic. After gathering all the images and turning them in to a 48"x61" print, Mike Moore of Wow! Visual Concepts offered to print the mosaic for free. We would like to thank Mike and Wow! Visual Concepts for all their help in promoting Africa at ROCKHarbor.

Here is an early draft of the mosiac. Each picture is 3/4" and is very visible when you walk up to the picture.
Here is what it looks like close up. This is a very early prototype, so there are many more images that were used, but it gets the point across. Also, there is much more detail in each of the pictures than what you see here so you can spend hours looking at the 16,000 images that make up the larger print.


As soon as we have pictures of the story wall we will post those as well.

Thanks Mike!
