GO

The Swaziland Partnership has ignited the passion and imagination of many people. We want everyone who has a desire to join a GO (Global Outreach) Team to have that opportunity. Please consider the part you can provide on a future team as there is something for everyone to do!

Depending on your skills you will be asked to serve on one of four teams:

Our efforts will focus on:

Partnering with Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital and their 17 rural clinics to provide equipment, training, renovation of their facilities as well as mentoring relationships with their doctors and nurses
Ministering with local Nazarene Churches on evangelistic efforts
Working with the Coca-Cola Foundation on new guttering at every rural clinic for water harvesting and new pit latrines for proper sanitation
Collaborating with the HIV/AIDS Task Force as they provide home health care to those dying of AIDS
Loving at-risk children through Vacation Bible Schools, sports camps, and feeding programs
Working with local communities on the sponsorship of community gardens

Details

Most GO Teams are gone for 10 to 11 days. The cost ranges from $3,000 to $3,600 based on the time of the year and the cost of the airline ticket. This cost is inclusive of your airline ticket, lodging, meals, ground transportation and all events.
Scholarships may be available for potential delegates. Please download the GO Team Scholarship packet for required forms and information.
