Why Go? (3)
From the GCLA Missions site, here is the missions video for 2009:
GCLA New Missions Website
GCLA has a new Missions website! It’s geared toward those who have gone, plan to go, or are interested in going on a short-term mission trip to Latin America. The new site is super cool, has RSS feed, lots of pictures, and a place for you to share your story about your experience in Latin America.
Due to the change in the website, the place to apply is now http://www.gclamissions.com, click on the "Register" tab. I apologize that the address I had on the info sheet was incorrect. The week I had to print the info sheet was the very week their website was in transition, so I had to just go with the info I had at the time, even though I suspected it would be changing.
If you find that any of my links to GCLA-related sites are not working, please let me know. It’s hard for me to remember all the places I might have linked to their site, so I might have missed some.
UPDATE: The link to the Training Manual is not working yet. I’ve left a message on their site, so hopefully they’ll get that fixed soon. In the mean time, I have uploaded the pdf to my server. Here’s the link.
