Honduras Medical Mission Team
Honduras Medical Mission Trip
A Mission Team has been assembled and planning is well underway for a medical mission to Honduras January 13-20. Team Members are currently Chad McKelvey, Heath and Laura Daniel, Madolyn Daniel, Rev. Michael Carver and Robin Horton.
The team will be in the Olanchito area of Honduras meeting the medical and spiritual needs of Hondurans living in a mountainous, impoverished area with little if any medical facilities. Laden with medicines, supplies, and their bibles, the team will trek to remote areas tending to the needs of the people. 
This team needs your prayers and financial support. To give, simply visit the "GIVE" menu item on our website where you can mail a check or use your major credit card to help this team raise the more than $15,000 needed for this critical mission.
For more information about this mission, contact Laura Daniel at l_danielrn@yahoo.com.
