The week consisted of building on a new church from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and leading Vacation Bible School from 4:00 p.m. - 6 p.m., and participating in local church worship in the evening. We scheduled four days to work, 1.5 days for a Sabbath on the coast, and 1.5 days for travel. |

A number of Spanish-speakers can help, but are not necessary. The labor can be very intensive, but there are all kinds of different tasks for people to do. We have had Christians at all different places and stages and all were positively impacted for Christ |
