Outreach Update
New international opportunity presented
The Outreach Committee provided an update on our outreach programs last Sunday. A presentation was made regarding Primero Agua (translates into Water First), a new international outreach opportunity!

Primero Agua is a Washington, MO based non-profit organization founded in 2010 to help bring clean water to the people of Honduras through collaboration with its Honduran sister foundation, El Agua Tu Prioridad (translates into Water, Your Priority). Primero Aqua drills water wells and performs well maintenance services in underserved communities.


Resurrection members have already pledged $1,000 to this program, which will qualify for a matching grant from the Diocese of West Missouri. If you would like to contribute, simply make a donation to our Outreach Fund and note your gift is for Primero Aqua. Thank you!
