Women Go on Mission to Honduras
(UBC NEWS) At the beginning of April, 14 women participated in our second trip to Honduras with Westside Ministries. More than 280 pairs of shoes were distributed to children who also received vitamins and parasite medication. Each child also received an illustrated Bible story book. Three or four special needs cases received medical attention.
The team ministered to the women in the church in one local village by supplying materials for making bracelets and teaching them to use this project as a fundraiser for their church. The Gospel was shared with more than 600 people, and more than 400 pounds each of beans, rice and corn were distributed to about 280 families.
