An announcement from the BVS office
Coming soon to Brethren Volunteer Service (BVS): Unit 333.
Plans continue to take shape for the next unit of BVS volunteers: Orientation Unit 333, which will take place Aug. 1-9 at Inspiration Hills Camp in Burbank, Ohio. We expect 15-20 volunteers to be part of this orientation.
The nine-day gathering will include group-building, a variety of sessions, service opportunities, visiting some local congregations, preparing for projects, and more. Volunteers will be coming from across the US and Germany, the latter group through our European partner, EIRENE.
There’s still time to be part of this orientation group, or another unit that will take place this fall on Sept. 26 through Oct. 4 at Camp Koinonia in Cle Elum, Wash.
Projects are available across the US, in Central America, Ireland and Northern Ireland, Japan, and elsewhere. Learn more and apply at www.brethren.org/bvs.
Please pray… For the volunteers who will take part in BVS Unit 333, and for the staff and others who will lead their orientation. May these volunteers enjoy a successful term of BVS.
