Happy New Year! While it isn’t the new year as of the writing of this mission report, I still hope the new year finds you in good health and praising God for His goodness. I know this last year has been a challenge for a lot of us in different ways, and we have no [...]
The church of Valderama is a small church, and sits humbly, in the hills, 4 miles off of the main highway. Many people here don’t have their own transportation, so getting to church isn’t always easy. Its thin bamboo walls were old and in desperate need of repair.
