FREE Mission Trip Training Course! The on-line

your own username and password to continue where you left off (for control
purposes--NOT to be put on any mailing lists!). If you wish to get certified
and receive a CERTIFICATE PLUS a Personal

Online
Mission Training/Christian Self-improvement Course. NOW AVAILABLE
FREE at www.abbaperu.com
(new web site, using the .com)! At any point, if you make the listed
donation, by mail, I will include a diploma and
a the personal evaluation
on the final page for a donation to the ABBA mission of $35. Take the
course to help you deal with attitudes and help you let God change aspects
of your personality that interfere with your Christian interaction with
others and your personal growth. You or your group will be able to effectively
prepare yourselves for any mission trip ministry adventure, on
line,and get certified DIPLOMA and a personal evaluation
and suggestions for your optimum team position, by our organization,for
a very small donation to "ABBA" (supporting missions). The
course will cover all aspects of information: selection of right type
of trip for you, travel and safety tips, health precautions, team dynamics,
some basic languages and phrases, post mission culture shock, and various
scenarios and examples with abundant photography, some video/music,
and certificate of completion. An important issue which the course will
treat is self-assessment of your abilities and temperament
to adapt and fit in to the situations and team dynamics that arise in
the more remote mission conditions (like in the Amazon or jungle areas
of Africa, Latin America, or other parts of the world). Take the
FREE course TODAY for your own personal improvement and growth, even
if not presently planning a trip! Click banner below to enter course

COSTA
RICA VACATION ASSISTANCE: Another service that I wish to offer
to our partners is my availability to guide you or your family in making
plans for an enjoyable vacation in this marvelous country, full of so
many natural wonders and things to do. There are the beautiful beaches
on both coasts, the natural waterfalls, several volcanoes, thermal springs
with spas and natural streams for bathing, wildlife galore, banana and
pineapple plantation tours, canopy and zip line tours, white water rafting,
horse back riding, butterfly-iguana-frog-monkey tours, etc., etc. There
is just so much to do and see here! I can arrange contacts for you that
will not over charge, as most do for Americans.
EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM: Since 1998 ABBA had sponsored 8 students in Daytona
Beach Community College (now Daytona State) in English and Associate (2-year) degrees in
Business and other degrees. Three are back in Peru, and the others have
received opportunities for further education toward their B. A. or B.
S. degrees. Our first student, Edson, with our help is now working hard on Disney Cruises, after we stopped our regular trips to Peru. Pedro is now married to a high school music teacher--now with a young son and
a new baby expecting--in Muskegon, Michigan. Gary got his B. A. in a new program
at the Daytona State College and is working as owner of an Internet
marketing company in Daytona Beach. Shaaron, our young lady, has gone
on to further her education elsewhere.
