Pastor Kristie co-leads a mission trip for adults willing to travel out of their comfort zones into a unique adventure of faith, learning, and self-discovery. Where, you ask? The beautiful country of
El Salvador
, the “Little Thumb” of Central America. All-in cost is
$1,700
(final cost determined by the cost of airfare) and the dates this year are
July 11-18, 2019
.
Our home base will be a lovely guesthouse in a quiet neighborhood of San Salvador. Every day we will go out in microbuses to explore the treasures of El Salvador and walk alongside our Salvadoran Lutheran Church friends. We’ll visit historic sites, natural wonders, schools, and rural communities. We’ll eat
pupusas
, learn some Spanish, fall in love with these courageous, resilient people, and gain some perspective on our own lives and faith.
To register, a down payment of
$200
is required. Brochures about the trip are available on the door to Pastor Kristie’s office. If you are interested, please take one and feel free to call PK with your questions, 651-235-2451.
