Missions Update
Gina Bender,
serving with the Stukenberg family in Guatemala, has
reported back to us how very much she is enjoying her time
there, ministering to the children in the home in such a
beautiful country. She is working on learning the language
but because the church services are all in Spanish it causes
her to miss worshiping with you all. Her email is:
gbpsalm5522@aol.com.
