Ghana
July 17 - 28, 2024 | Ghana
This relationally-driven trip provides an ideal opportunity for experienced travelers to help make an impact and build relationships with the Ghanaian people. The Crossing will be partnering with City of Refuge Ministries (CORM). City of Refuge is a home to children that have been rescued from a life of slavery in an area near Lake Volta. They teach these kids new skills, trades and about the love and hope of Jesus.
Partnering with us on this trip will lead you into an environment that will truly stretch you. Your eyes will be opened to the modern day slavery that is happening all around. This trip depends on your flexibility and ability to go with the flow as culturally the locals have a more relaxed attitude about time. Our team will work to assist CORM in whatever way is most needed, including: teaching a bible study, crafts with kids, medical assessments, and/or building projects.
