"HERE AM I" Weekend

Isaiah said, “Here Am I” (6:8).
For those who are not yet ready to add….”SEND ME!

Your CGGC Cross-Cultural Ministries announces a
“Here Am I”
informational weekend
for persons who want to know more about the process of becoming a missionary.
October 14-15, 2011  
Doubling Gap Center, Newville, PA

The schedule begins on Friday, 7 p.m. and concludes by Saturday 2 p.m.
Participants will discover answers to such questions as…
  • What is the current state of Christianity in the world?
  • What is happening in CGGC missions?
  • What are the opportunities where missionaries are needed?
  • How do I know if I'm called to be a missionary?
  • Am I "qualified" to serve?
  • Where can my mix of spiritual gifts, skills, and personality be utilized?
  • How can I best prepare for missionary service?
  • What if I don't want to commit to a lifetime of serving overseas?
  • What are the unique challenges facing missionaries in today's world?
  • What are the next steps I need to take?
This is a special weekend for persons who (1) have already expressed some interest in
missions service or (2) who simply want to know more about what God is doing in the
world (and how He might choose to work through them in another cultural setting).

The registration cost for the weekend is only $25 for individuals or $40 for couples to
cover some books and resources for participants. CCM will provide Friday night lodging
(if living outside the immediate area), snacks and Saturday lunch.

Attending a “Here Am I” weekend does not obligate anyone. Persons may not be ready
to say, "Here am I--send me!" (as Isaiah did). That's okay. We just want to assist them
in making a more informed decision—either now or later.

Facilitators for this weekend will include CCM Director Don Dennison and former overseas missionaries Ben Tobias (Indonesia) and Joyce Hornbaker (Haiti).

Please mail completed registration form with $25 fee for individuals, $40 fee for couples
by October 1st to: CGGC, Box 926, Findlay, OH 45839
