With a full team we are now in the final stages of preparation for our mission journey to Dominican Republic June 13-21. All our held airline tickets have been filled with wonderful, faith-filled, adventurous people. Our team is unique with the following makeup...
 |
| Monte Rojo Church will be our home away from home in June |
- 4 females and 8 males (usually it is the other way around)
- 5 adults and 7 youth/young adults (great energy!!)
- 7 members of FUMC (3 who have not been on an international mission experience)
- 5 college youth and 2 experienced high school youth (the HS youth have been on 2 previous international mission trips)
- 4 youth who have command of the Spanish language (we are so blessed with these Spanish language learners!!)
In the next 3 months our team will begin to prepare to be with the churches in Dominican Republic and our Missionaries Ardell and Gordon Graner. One of our challenges will be to raise enough funds for the project. We have been asked to provide $3,000 to $5,000 to assist the church in Mt. Rojo with the construction of a parsonage. Each team member is financially responsible for all ($1,600) of their own expenses which includes airfare, room and board, insurance, ground transportation and a portion of the project cost.
We may also be invited to plan children's activities for the churches in the area. We will need to collect supplies for art projects and maybe some other things that will provide the opportunity for us to develop a relationship with their church family. You can be part of our "home" team by praying for our journey, you can be our "Cheerleaders" as we prepare, you can help support the mission with your gifts, you can help us collect the art supplies once the supply needs have been shared.
