Discovery Tours

What is a Discovery Tour?

A Discovery Tour is part of the CRCNA development education process and features the work of Christian Reformed World Missions and the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee and some of our partner ministries, giving participants an opportunity to learn the concept of "Walking with the Poor." To maximize the learning and give personal attention to each participant, this guided tour is limited to a small group of 8 -12 individuals. The experience will challenge and enrich you as you learn from our brothers and sisters in another culture. You will gain a personal perspective on missions and development work, which include programs in Christian education, literacy, church ministry development, small business development, health, food security and other areas. Join us and learn about how we can all work together side by side to shape a healthier, Christ-centered world!

Our staff would like to assist you in your desire to learn more about community development. Please contact us for more details at volunteer@crcna.org.  

CRWRC HIV/AIDS Tour to Uganda and Kenya:  April 15 - 29, 2012.  Application deadline: Feb. 8, 2012
Through the HIV and AIDS Discovery Tour, you’ll experience first hand what CRWRC is doing to stop the spread of AIDS, and connect with people, families, and communities who are eager to share their experiences with you. The result? You’ll discover hope—and be encouraged to take action on AIDS in your own community and around the world.

This two-week journey will take you, accompanied by three CRWRC partner staff, to church services where congregants are tested for HIV, to village health clinics, to homes where CRWRC’s trained health assistants care for people living with AIDS and give respite to caregivers, and to communities where neighbors support neighbors with community-wide compassion. Find out for yourself the amazing ways that God is working in the lives of people living with AIDS in Africa. It will change your life.  Click the following links for more information.
