2018 Honduras Mission Trip #1 Pre-Trip Introduction

On Wednesday, December 5th a mission team from St Luke's along with a few members from Maryland will be heading to La Paz, Honduras for the distribution of the shoes donated by church members.

Please pray for smooth travel connections on Wednesday and a spirit filled time of service while in Honduras.  Several teams members are old hands at the Children of Love Foundation and a few of us are new to mission trips and others have served mission ventures at other locations.  A good mix as we seek to be  the "hands, feet and heart of Jesus" to the community in La Paz.

The team is comprised of ten individuals and we will all appreciate your prayer support during this time in Honduras. We will return on December 12th.

The photos below were taken on prior mission trips to La Paz.  See if you can find some familiar faces.
