Backpacking in Brittany

Organization: International Mission Board
Ministry Task: Evangelism & Church Planting
Date Posted: 18-Feb-2008

Mission Trip Full Description:

Breton Speakers (Brezhonegerien) in Brittany are one of the least evangelized of the Celtic people groups. Presently, there are few Breton-speaking believers and no Breton-speaking churches. A team of four students (2M, 2F) is urgently required to serve in Brittany to use encounters with Breton speakers and others, while backpacking in traditionally Breton-speaking areas of the country (West), as a means of building relationships, for the purpose of planting the seeds of the Gospel among them.
