| Brazil Mission Trip—Friday, July 10–Saturday, July 18 We have two members of our fellowship, Connie Collins and Jim Crain, traveling to Brazil to serve along the Amazon River on a medical mission trip. Along with providing medical care, the team is ministering to local villages through VBS, youth, women’s, and men’s ministries. To help support this mission, Jim has created an Amazon Wish List with supplies needed for these outreach efforts. If you’d like to be part of what God is doing on this trip, this is a simple and meaningful way to contribute. Thank you for your prayers and support! |
