Honduras Mission Trip/Rice Bowl News!
We will welcome to our services today: Johnny Ramantanin, from Rice Bowls of Spartanburg, SC.
We have been partnering with Rice Bowls for several years in our Upward basketball program. Johnny is our contact and fellow partner who assists our mission team on our trips to Good Shepherd Children’s Home in Honduras. He is a true “Hunger Fighter” who has dedicated his life to ministering and feeding children.
It is a pleasure to partner with Rice Bowls and serve alongside Johnny.
We currently have (7) church members signed up for our Honduras trip this year to Good Shepherd Children’s Home on June 9-16, 2023. Please consider joining us on this trip which will change your life.
We will be taking up a “Love Offering” after the service and you can also give online to our Honduras trip.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration and giving to help offset the costs of the trip. Please continue to pray for the children and those that help at the Good Shepherd Children’s Home .
Please contact Jeff Harris for more information.
