The purpose of the trip is to partner with two local churches (a French church called "The CEP" and an international church called "The ICG") in the city of Grenoble, France to reach the people of the city to discover life in Christ. The trip is centered around the MilePost13 Band's involvement in a few concerts during La Fête de la Musique (The Music Party), an annual, national celebration of music, but those participating in the trip will be busy with much more.

The team will also be working with the local churches to serve their communities in different ways. As well as leading worship on Sunday morning for both local churches, the MP13 Band will be participating in a music/worship leader training day with several local churches. The team will also be serving in the community in various ways with members of the two local churches, learning about French culture and investing their lives into their communities.

The 17-member team is made up of partners of Nags Head Church, including several members of the MilePost13 Band, the Contagious Youth Band, the NHC Tech Teams, and a few immediate family members.

Cost: $1000/person x 17 people = $17,000

The cost may change and will become more definite as the trip approaches because it is dependent on several factors, including the cost of airline tickets, the amount of luggage and equipment we have to take, etc. The band will be borrowing/renting as much equipment and instruments as possible while in France.
