Have you ever thought serving overseas was an option for you?  We received an email today from Roger and Carol Cryan, missionaries serving AIDs-displaced children in South Africa through Evangelical Baptist Missions, identifying just such an opportunity.  This unique field experience combined with PER's experience-based course offering provides the opportunity for the right student(s) to complete their education while making a real impact on real lives in an area of desperate need.

Bethesda Outreach Ministries is located in Hammanskraal, South Africa.  An excerpt from the email reads as follows:

"As you know, Roger and I are part of Bethesda Outreach Ministries in South Africa.  One of our responsibilities is to work with interns from the states who may want to minister with us, working with children who have been orphaned because of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  Most of our children do not have AIDS, so we are not a medical ministry.  They are AIDS affected, not AIDS infected.  (Although 3 of our children do test positive for HIV.)  We have African houseparent couple (right now 5 couples) who parent the children in homes on our village property.  We also  have an on-site school for grades K-7.
