Dear Friends and Family,
Below are a few of the details about our upcoming “PROJECT ANTIOCH” mission trip. We know that there is no way that we can do this trip on our own strength. Therefore, we would really appreciate your prayers on our behalf, before we embark, and while we are gone. Thank you for supporting us in this essential way through prayer.
This year's projects will include painting the 15 Septiembre Day Care Center and ministering to the 112 children that attend there. Their ages are 2-12. We will be leading kids' devotionals, Bible hours, crafts and just loving the children. Our evening activities will be interacting with the local congregation of Vina Este church through mimes and testimonies.
