20 Jun Updates on Four Summer Ministry Teams

Donna Hollopeter, Associate Director of Global Ministries

I had an email this morning from Fonda Cassidy (right) giving me an update on how things are going for the medical team in Honduras. This team of 21 persons is in southern Honduras in the midst of some very poor, remote villages. They have had three clinics so far and have treated almost 1400 patients with varying problems. The really neat thing is that there have been several first time decisions for Christ as they minister not just to physical needs but spiritual ones. The team members are all doing well.

A team of 7 persons will depart for Spain on Sunday, June 24. They will work with Ron and Brenda Anderson (right), missionaries with European Christian Mission, in an English Camp. The 7 are: April Dice (team leader), Chuck Malson, Beth Palmer, Mallory Jones, Todd and Quinn Fetters, and Joann Gardner. They will be gone for 8 days.

On July 1, a team of 10 youth and adult leaders from the Monroe UB Church will travel to Nicaragua to work with Jeff Dice on a couple of projects there.

The Germany team led by Tom and Kim Datema will depart on July 27 for a week-long English Camp and then a week of ministry with the Sierra Leonean Church plant in Berlin.
