Virtual Mission Registration- Give ye them to eat

We would like to invite you to participate in a Virtual Mission Journey to GYTTE. Online, through a zoom experience, you will get to know GYTTE and be able to see what an in-person mission experience is like. It requires that you download zoom to your computer. This virtual mission journey requires about an 8-hour commitment on zoom over two weeks. We have facilitated 4 mission journeys (May, June, July, Aug.) and the feedback is very positive.

If you would like to go on this Mission Journey to Mexico with GYTTE please respond to me
at nanmigl@yahoo.com and to Rev. Marian Hartman, mhartman@susumc.org who will be the facilitator of the mission journey.

The upcoming trip includes two 1-hour team preparation sessions; then three mission trip sessions of two hours each; and an hour of reading before each trip day.

The dates are: 1-hour Team meetings: Wed. Sept. 23 and Fri. Sept. 25, at 11am eastern time.
Then three 2-hr. mission trip days: Mon. Sept. 28, Wed. Sept. 30 and Friday Oct. 2.

All 5 meetings start at 11am Eastern time.

Through this trip you will be with missionaries Nan and Miguel and begin to get to know 4 of GYTTE’s staff and learn about six development programs in rural Mexico. Our Virtual tour will include photo/description shows including Educational Tourism, Rural Reality, Community Development, Construction/Appropriate Technology, Agricultural and Livestock Development, Community Health/Training of Health Promotors, Church and Faith Development and AWARE (Alternative Work-Study and Reality Experience).

We will also study themes related to the historic relationship between the United States and Mexico like NAFTA and the root causes of migration by people from Mexico and Central America to the US.
We will do the short readings on our own. In the 3 zoom mission sessions, we will go to small breakout groups to discuss a question, then share briefly in plenary. The small groups are fun!
