Philippines Summer Team - for teens or leaders, Teen Missions International, Butuan City 8600, Philippines

 Description

"Mabuhay!" Welcome to the Philippines, a nation of more than 7000 islands nestled in the sparkling Pacific 
Ocean. Journey to one of Teen Missions favorite destinations where swaying coconut palms dot the hills and 
colorful jeepneys cruise busy streets. Evangelism opportunities are abundant on this mission trip as you share Christ 
using music, dramas, puppets and personal testimonies in the local villages and in nearby Butuan. Lasting 
friendships will be forged with the Filipino staff and students as you work together to complete construction of new 
dorms for the retreat center.

Location:
Teen Missions in the Philippines BIBLE, MISSIONARY & WORK Training Center is located on the hilltops 
overlooking Malpoc and the ocean beyond.

Sightseeing/Souvenirs:
On weekends you may visit the beach, or buy souvenirs including rattan mats and baskets, wood carvings, 
paintings and traditional Filipino clothing. After your time at the base, you return to Hong Kong for two days, where 
you can shop for some of Asia's best buys and barter in the markets for anything from Chinese food delicacies 
to the latest electronics and clothing. While here you will ride the Star Ferry across Hong Kong Harbor and 
ride the tram to the top of Victoria's Peak which offers a panoramic view of Hong Kong.

Housing:
Housing will be in dorms. Showers are available. Laundry will be done using buckets.

Travel:
After Commissioning, you fly from the Orlando International Airport to Los Angeles and board a flight that 
takes you across the Pacific Ocean and the International Date Line to Hong Kong, China. A connecting flight takes 
you across the South China Sea to Cebu, the "Queen City of the South". You then board a ship and cross the 
Bohol Sea to Nasipit. A short trip by Teen Missions truck will take your team past playing children, rice paddies 
and water buffalo to the Teen Missions in the Philippines BIBLE, MISSIONARY & WORK Training Center.
