By Carol Hawkins, Missions Coordinator

This is an exciting time as our summer mission teams and individuals will soon be heading to their areas of service. Thank you all for your prayers and financial support for these teams and individuals. Thank you for being part of the team!

Team Honduras [May 3-10] They will be partnering with Orphanage Emmanuel. There are about 550 children currently in this facility who are learning about the love of God each day. Our team will be helping in many ways: VBS, arts and crafts, carpentry, farm work, school, music, and more. They will be serving to help meet the greatest needs.

Team Nicaragua [May 11-17] Our team will be partnering with Living Water International and they will be drilling a clean water well and installing a hand pump. They will also be educating the community in hygiene practices to help encourage sanitation and health. This is a wonderful opportunity to help meet the basic need for water in the community as well as sharing the gospel message through relationships that are made.

Team Mexico [May 23-25] Our team will be partnering with Baja Christian Ministries, building a safe home for a family in need. Our team will spend the weekend sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and building a solid weather-proof home for a family in this poor community. 

We also have some individuals who are going and serving:

Audrey Dukes [July 1-6] Serving in Florida with Actors, Models and Talent for Christ
