IMPORTANT INFO LINKS
ONLINE TRIP JOURNAL
Updated with photos and info about our work each day, put online by Praying Pelican staff.
IMPORTANT UPDATES:
*Make Sure to Drink Plenty of Water, Starting NOW! (Challenge yourself to drink 4 16oz bottles of water each day this week!)
*Please See Packing List Above, and prepare yourself by looking through the "PELICAN GUIDE", if you haven't already gotten a print copy. A lot of great info, and meaningful encouragement.
* Bring an actual Bible with you, even if small. Don't rely solely on phone app this trip!
*Youth cell phones will not be allowed at the job sites, so youth - please prepare for a more limited use this week. We'll have some downtimes each day when you can catch up.
*The ministry organization has listed that we remember modesty in the types of things we pack (no extremely short shorts, shirts needs sleeves, one-piece swimsuits etc.). A wide variety of Christian folk will be hosting and working alongside us (not to mention those we serve), and not everyone has the same viewpoints on what's appropriate. So let's err on the side of modesty out of respect to the diversity that will be surrounding us!
* As far as any $ to bring on the the trip, those who are traveling with us should plan for the following: Two meal stops Saturday 7/7 , Three meal stops Sun 7/8, One meal in Downtown Fri 7/13, Three meal stops Sat 7/14. I would also ask everyone to contribute $20 to the free day activities we have planned for you Friday 7/13 (Space Center/Museum/Beach). All other meals and needs will be covered during the week!
* [7/5 UPDATE:] Plan (for Keith Folks) is now to leave out at 9:30am on Saturday (7/7) . Please arrive between 9:00-9:15am to load. Will meet the Woodlands folks at our Mission Center (6105 Allendale Rd) in Pasadena by 6pm on Sunday (7/8). We return to Athens around 10:00pm on Saturday (7/14).
