Our teams work in a holistic manner, serving the people we visit with assistance in areas including construction, computer work, medical clinics, school and university programs, feeding programs, social action, and partnering in the spiritual work of the local churches.
In addition to our international short-term mission trips, our congregation adopted the city of Los Cedros, Nicaragua in 2004. Learn about the Nicaragua trips and the Adopt-A-City program.
