EAGLE ON THIS TOUR
U.S.
"Eagle Tour" Travel Itinerary: In November 2006--March
2007). I traveled the Northeast for meetings with ministry in the Word,
music, and mission stories--and,as desired, or for mission trip
preparation-self
improvement seminars for churches or
groups. This seminar--now available on line--is suggested for EVERYONE--not
just those preparing for missions! It will help you to break down
spiritual and mental barriers that hinder your effectiveness in
your daily walk and witness for our Lord. There is never any charge
for ministry--just for a personal review and certification.
Recent
News (July 2008). Please click "Newsletter &
our other links to learn more about our new vision and what you or your
group can do to "partner" with ABBA to help bring it to pass.
As you can see from our home page, we have added our associates names
and missions links to their web sites, so that you can expand your knowledge
of them and consider supporting them also, either directly, or through
ABBA. Click the PHOTO

mission properties you or your group might consider helping us obtain!
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, 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. I can even arrange to
personally guide and translate for you, if desired, when I do not have
other commitments.
