Sister2Sister Mission Trip Facilitator
The Rev. Phil Eberhart, pastor at Resurrection Anglican Fellowship in Centennial, Colorado, has joined theAM's Sister2Sister team to facilitate mission trips from the US to Sister Parishes in Rwanda. He will work with mission trip leaders at the local level to help provide training resources for trips, S2S communication with Rwanda, trip tips, travel resources and one-on-one troubleshooting.
 "There is no substitute for going when it comes to developing kinship and relationships with our brothers and sisters in Rwanda," Phil notes. "Once you've been there, you will never be the same."
Phil has broad experience in short-term missions and is available to "come alongside" mission trip leaders preparing for a trip or at any stage along the way. Connected with ServantPrep Mission Training, he is able to resource and train teams, assist with travel and insurance and offer insight on in-country expectations and experiences for leaders or team members.
Feel free to email Phil to start the process or with questions along the way.

Children Fund a Well in Haiti
 On a hot summer day, children at the summer market in Park City, Utah, got a chance to hurl a ball at a target in hopes of "dunking" a wet-suit-clad man in a tank of cold water. It was splashy fun with a purpose: St. John's Anglican Church used the dunk tank to raise money for Living Water International, a faith-based organization drilling wells in developing countries.
Learn how proceeds from the dunk tank rehabilitated a well in Haiti.
