Team 2008 Getting ready to go

Cornerstone Community Church is preparing to send third team to Burundi...

In our ongoing effort to partner with people and ministries in Burundi, we are preparing to send a team of 8 to Africa in early May. The team will be visiting churches, an Aids Resource Centre, schools and families. Our intention is to encourage and support the development and relief work that Doug and Deanna Hiebert have been involved with during the past 4.5 years.

Thanks to Cornerstone for making this possible through the support shown during the fundraising lunch held on April 13. The funds raised will be used to defer the travel, food, accomodations, and ministry costs for the team during their stay.

The team has also been gathering a variety of materials to distribute during their visit. We are planning on taking blankets that were made by Henry and Erna Hubert. We are also taking along clothing, donated by Earth Wares Adventure Apparrel, and a variety of other material goods.

We will try and update this Blog as we have opportunity during our visit.
