Have you ever thought about stepping out of your comfort zone and going on a mission trip? Well, we've got a great opportunity for you to join us this summer as we'll be going to Honduras to partner with World Gospel Outreach. We'll be working at Rancho Ebenezer which is where they have their children's home for at risk kids. There are two aspects of our team: The work team will be involved in tackling various work projects around their property. Whether it's painting, replacing screens, cleaning gutters or whatever else, we want to be the hands and feet of Jesus as we tackle these projects for them. The second part of our team is the sewing/crocheting team. We'll spend our days not only teaching these precious Honduran children how to sew/crochet but we'll also have the opportunity to pour into their lives. Please prayerfully consider joining us! It's a life changing opportunity to serve God in beautiful Honduras!
