Nigeria workcamp announced for 2009

A special call has been issued for skilled carpenters and plumbers for the 2009 annual Nigeria work camp, jointly sponsored by the Church of the Brethren, Ekklesiyar Yan'uwa a Nigeria (EYN- the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria), and Mission 21 (formerly Basel Mission).

At EYN Headquarters, the group will help construct a teacher's house for the Comprehensive Secondary School and complete the HIV/AIDS office building that was started in 2008. American and European participants will work together with Nigerian Christians. Workcampers also will have opportunities to worship in EYN churches and be hosted in the homes of church members.

The approximate cost of $2,200 includes round-trip travel from the closest airport in the continental United States and living expenses in Nigeria.
