What To Bring
Please make sure and read all of the following if you are at all interested in coming to
this year's Communion, and if even if you are not please take some time to read this over
and add it to your prayers. Please bear with us as it is a little long.
Begin your "Communion" experience now!
We would like to give you an overview of what the grounds and weather are like here in
Becida.
It is a wooded acreage, it borders state land, there are plenty of walking trails,
perfect for spending your quite time with the Lord or relaxing and enjoying the company
of a friend(s).
There are several small lakes within a 2 mile walking distance though we are pretty sure
only the brave will want to swim as you will be accompanied by plenty of leeches.
Ticks, mosquito's and other insects abound. But don't let that scare you off, just think
of the African jungle, and bring more bug spray!
It can be cold at night, cool to very cool in the evening and anywhere from very warm to
cool in the daytime.
It is incredibly beautiful, you will think you are staying at a state park.
Town is about a 25 minute drive away and it is the nearest place to shop (for anything,
including bug spray, groceries...).
There are lots of camp sites where you can camp close to someone else or in a secluded
spot.
Solar showers could be used and swimwear is suggested for shower use.
Following is a list is of what we do have and what we do not have. We want you all to
look at this as a training spot in all areas of missions, so when you are about to head
out on the foreign field you must know what your spot has and what they do not have, what
will be supplied and what you must bring.
What We Do Have
