Global Mission Companion Synod Poland Trip Download PDF Registration Brochure Our Companion Synod Program links the Oregon Synod with the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland. Each year a group from Oregon Synod has been traveling to Poland as volunteers for this program, they have participated in a camp experience that has affected the lives of numerous children of Poland. The main job of anyone who will be going is to participate in leading small groups discussions and participate in leading activities like: crafts, baseball, scavenger hunts, art and other activities. This year the cost for this trip is $2295 (Airport/Foreign Departure From Portland) The tour cost is per person. The trip is limited to 12 participants. Since the inception of the Companion Synod program more than 125 individuals representing over 32 ELCA congregations in Oregon have been part of a companion synod mission trip. Currently there are 24 congregations of the Oregon Synod that have companion relations with congregations in Poland. The Oregon Synod Global Mission Committee oversees this project and is always seeking to improve the experience and encourage new team members for future missions. Contact the Global Mission Committee, c/o Delores Vilstrup leovilstrup@aol.com, to inquire about being a participant in upcoming exchanges. |
