Construction Teams Needed in Guatemala
Construction teams are needed throughout the year to build two cottages for orphans in Guatemala. While this will be an extension of the ministry at the Good Shepherd Children’s Home, the cottages will be located on the Good Shepherd Center property, where there is room. The construction of these cottages will be much like that of the Center – adobe, tile, wood framing, plumbing, painting, etc. For more info: http://baptistsonmission.org/Missions/Outside-US/Guatemala. |
