Ministry Updates: April 2019
Arizona
Mission teams: We will soon have new dorms for mission teams! A small mission trip team recently installed showers at our old school building! Now we will be more equipped to house teams who come to serve in Winslow.
School: Pray that Red Sands Christian School in Winslow, Arizona is able to reach more children! School registration is in progress for the 2019-2020 school year. Please pray that the children and families will experience God's grace, love, and forgiveness through the school, staff, church, and sponsors!
Ecuador
Several mission teams have served in Ecuador this spring. While in Quito, they teach lessons to different grades at the Christian school we serve alongside. One team came with the message of the power of our words: they can bring life or bring destruction to others. The week was spent doing activities with the students, which emphasized a way to love other people (and God) is through kind words.
Honduras
The middle school students at Gonzales Christian School are excited about their new classrooms! The parents worked hard to fundraise and initiate the building of these classrooms. The visiting mission team celebrated the day with the students through a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Haiti
Please keep our Haitian brothers and sisters in your prayers. They served faithfully in a difficult season earlier this year, and we are humbled by their steadfastness. Things have been calm in Haiti, but there is still a fuel shortage which is causing hardship. Please pray for peace, discernment, wisdom, and strength as our Haitian staff seek to do God's will.
We are also pleased to announce that mission teams are back to serving in Haiti!
Panama
Plans are moving forward for native Panamanian Pastor Jose Rodriguez to start a church in Panama City. This church is designed to be self-sustaining within 5 years and to have the ability to multiply its impact to other regions of Panama and beyond! We are currently looking for 4 more church partners to commit to the project; 6 partners have already stepped up! Praise God! Watch videos and learn more here.
United States
A record number of meals were packed in March: 1,451,334 meals were packed by 10,690 participants in 8 different states! Thank you for providing meals to children and families who are struggling with hunger and malnutrition around the world. These are amazing numbers and we celebrate them! We also realize that there are still more meals needed! Will you step up and help? Start here.
