Planning for the 2015 Mission Trip
Plus new photos from the school in El Peregal

Take a quick look at the Planning Page (link below) for our 2015 DR Mission Trip. Obviously, many of the pertinent details are not yet in place, but this will give our former missioners a link to send their interested friends. While these initial details may not be inspiring, your stories of what a previous trip meant to you are. Tell your story and help us recruit a really strong team!
