Breaking News! We just have heard bad news from John VerWys that approximatly $1000 worth of tools have been stolen from the mission. Both he and many people at the church are very distraught about this, considering John is so involved in helping the local people with construction, maintenance, and renovation projects. So lets try and raise this amount or more so that new tools can be bought!
If you want to help financially please visit the contact page and send your cheques to the address of Agua Viva Ministries Inc or send an email to Rosemary and John here
And as always your prayers are requested and greatly appreciated! Dios los bendiga!
