South Dakota Youth Mission Trip with The Gospel Preachers Association
June 18-26 2010 Watertown, South Dakota
Working with Harvest Baptist Church 
Missionary’s Lamar and Chastity Whittemore
Total Cost of trip $1100.00

We are thrilled to lead this 2010 mission trip to Watertown, South Dakota, and working with missionaries Lamar and Chastity Whittemore. We will be taking 24 people on this mission trip to the northern plains of the United States. This beautiful State and home of Mt. Rushmore will be the place that God will once again allow The Gospel Preachers Association the opportunity to preach the gospel!

We will leave Hammond, Indiana on June 18, 2010, and take the day of the 18^th to travel by brand new comfortable vans and have the opportunity to look at the beautiful northern plains of our great country. We will be in on the evening of the 18^th, and will get settled in to begin a journey of soul winning, vacation Bible school, old fashion evangelistic tent meeting near the downtown Watertown area, choir singing, and great preaching throughout the week!

If you need to fly in on the 17^th of June, you can use Chicago, Illinois Midway, OR O’Hare international Airports. Both airports are within 1 hour of Hammond. You will need to send your itinerary to , or call Billy Sampson at 219-805-8826. You will be responsible for paying your way to and from Hammond. You will need to raise additional support in addition to the $1000.00 for the trip to South Dakota.  Once you get here to Hammond, the $1000.00 that you will pay to go on this trip will take care of the following;

1.       Your Transportation from June 18-26, 2010 (Also any ride you may need to and from the airport on the 17^th and 27^th.)

2.       Your meals from June 18-26, 2010 (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner)

3.       Your lodging from June 18-26, 2010. (If you need to stay over on Saturday June 26, 2010 we will help you either book a hotel here in the area, or put you with a trusted church family, from our area. If you have to stay in a hotel, we will make accommodations that adult supervision will be with you at the hotel. (Probably my wife Jane and I.)

What will I need while on the trip?

1.       You will need to have enough Church clothes for the meetings.
Click here for a detailed schedule for the week.

2.       You will also need to bring 2 sets of old work clothes. We may do some projects for the missionary. (Clean up, painting Etc…)

3.       You will need your Bible ALL WEEK! Don’t leave home without it!

4.       Bring all your personal toiletries. If you fly to Chicago, we can take you to pick them up when you get here. This will help you avoid the hassle. That is up to you.

5.       If you sing, or do plays, or skits, please bring it with you, and I will review it to see if it can be used for the week. We want you to get involved!

6.       As far as your dress is concerned, you may wear jeans during our work days. Our Vacation Bible School activities, the boys must where polo’s, or a button up dress shirt during vacation Bible school. The Girls must wear skirts below the knee for the vacation Bible School. Both boys and Girls may wear Jeans while we are working at the church. All church services, the boys will be in Khaki’s or dress pants, with a polo or button down shirt, and the girls will be required to wear a dress, or skirt below the knee. Please work with us on the dress code. We would hate to leave you at the hotel all week!  Also on Friday June 25, 2010 we will have a fun day for everyone. You may where a T-Shirt. It cannot promote the following;
Any secular music, or secular band,  Alcohol, or drugs, or profanity in anyway.  All clothing will be left to the discretion of the adults on the trip. Modesty is always the best Policy!

We appreciate you considering going with the Gospel Preachers Association. Please pray that God will give us many souls, that God will give us the group we need and that our hearts would be knitted together.
