Puerto Rico Mission Team Informational Meeting

PUERTO RICO MISSION TRIP - Spring 2010
Are you interested in serving on a mission trip where you will have the opportunity to share the love of Christ by helping to repair and improve the homes of families living within the barrio shared by the missionaries, John and Kerry Cox? There are many different levels of skills needed; however, if you can hold a paint brush and have the love and salvation of our Lord in your heart for others – you have what it takes to participate in this mission trip.

Puerto Rico is a beautiful island with basically all of the amenities and resources that we enjoy here; we are fortunate to have this to our advantage and utilize in our work. Opposite of its beauty, Puerto Rico has many people living in poverty. Our mission is to partner with the local missionaries John and Kerry Cox in an area called Juana Diaz. John and Kerry moved from here in the states to Puerto Rico around 18 years ago; they, along with their daughter and her family operate a youth camp and a church in connection to their home.

Please drop by Room 128 between 12:30 and 1:30 on Sunday, December 27, for more information, pictures, and to ask any questions that you may have regarding this Mission Trip.
I look forward to meeting you and appreciate your interest.

Thank you, Adam Yacuzzo
