GENERAL INTEREST
G1) Bahamas Mission Trips - April
G1) Bahamas Mission Trips - April
Landry Academy has two mission trips to the Bahamas scheduled
for April:
1. Service Trip to Prepare "Camp Bahama" for Summer
Our "mission" is to help the "Camp Bahamas" staff
make camp improvements in preparation for the summer
camps they hold for youngsters on the island.
That will likely include clean-up, landscaping,
painting, construction, etc. No special skills are
required - we'll put you to work. You just need to
be willing to serve.
"Camp Bahama" is on 23 acres which stretch from one
end of the island of Eleuthera to the other (from
Caribbean to Atlantic), and we'll get to swim in
both. :) In addtion to preparing the facility for
it's summer camps, w e'll also be ministering to
local Haitian communities.
Details are here..

2. Baseball / Softball Mission Trip to St Georges Cay
Our second Bahamas mission trip scheduled for April
is to the very small island of St Georges Cay in the
Bahamas.
On this trip we'll be working with missionaries Michael
and Amy Boykin, and their family on the very small
island of St Georges Cay and surrounding islands. The
primary mode of transportation on the island is golf
carts.
The Boykins minister to Haitians refugees in nearby
settlements and recently started two baseball teams
for the boys and softball teams for the girls. Their
comment to me (Greg Landry) was..
"These kids love baseball and softball but have little
equipment or training. We need high school kids who
can work with them. We also take them in the Caribbean
after we practice for them to play and we teach them
to swim."
