facilities, teaching a Bible lesson and life application lessons.
Guatemala is among the 10 poorest countries in Latin America.
Many people are struggling and living in what seems to be a hopeless
situation. Many women in this culture have been abused; many
have seen no way out, so in their despair, they turned to a life of
crime. Many of them have hardened their hearts and, out of that have
committed crimes. Our team will be sharing how God can taken
the broken things in our life and make us new and give us a new
beginning. We need women to join us and share the hope that is only
found in Jesus Christ.

Cambodia Dental Ministry Team
Cost:To be
determined Deadline:
June 15
for application & non-refundable $1500. deposit
This team will be traveling to a
rural area of Cambodia to provide dental care for the Hill-Tribe
people, and those living with very limited access to dental care.
This is a great way to show the practical love of Jesus Christ to
those who don’t know Him. Imagine yourself venturing
through a land known for its breathtaking beauty and people.
But, when you take a closer look, you will also see a country that
is so deep in false religion that people are willing to starve their
families so they can leave food for the spirits. The people of
Cambodia are in desperate need of a Savior - the One True God, Jesus
Christ. Don’t pass up on this once in a lifetime opportunity
to serve and minister to this unreached people group. We will
also be visiting the local market and historical sites. Space
is very limited, you must apply immediately to be considered! Watch
our newsletter for more information.
