Notes regarding the mission plans for 2010.
Actual dates are still subject to the inviting Bishops finalising their diocesan schedules.
Costs are estimates and dependent upon when air fares are purchased and seasonal influences. Jetset Merrylands continues to serve SOMA so well in advising and finalising ticketing and visas—for their input we thank God so much!
Normally the host diocese supplies accommodation and meals but in some cases depending upon their ability, each team member may have to contribute towards these costs.
Team leaders are not decided yet and is a matter occupying the National Director’s efforts.
The National Director in conjunction the mission team leader is responsible for accepting or rejecting invitations from people who express their desire to go on mission.
