Free Will Offering to support Mission Activity!
First Church Mission Activities include support local and global missions.
Locally we help support the Open Door soup kitchen and the YMCA homeless
shelter, and provide scholarships for area youth. Globally we have been
helping out in Oaxaxa, Mexico at an orphanage for special needs children and
building houses and planting trees to help to improve the lives of folks who live
in the dump there.
This year, the mission will be continued help to establish the coffee co-op, for
small coffee farmers who live in the hills around Oaxaxa. Their farms are too
small for the major dealers to be bothered with, and it has caused extreme
poverty in these areas. They walk miles out of the hills for food and supplies,
and everyone has to come and carry back their own supplies…from young
children to the most senior members of the villages.
This year's participants will help to distribute food and supplies to the people in
a remote mountain village in the impoverished state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The
mission group will also help with construction work at the Simply Smiles base
camp, and help on a school building project in the mountains.
Very strenuous…but very rewarding!
