The first APD Men's Ministry mission is set to build new homes in El Salvador and heads out on Friday January 16th. 7 members from Canada will be in El Salvador for 10 days to build 4 new homes.
The team will also spend time on outreach and ministry activities,
These activities include working with the local children singing, teaching, doing crafts and sharing. We will also be hosting a Father's Day evening to share the message of God's love and spend time in fellowship with the local men.
The pictures are from a trip in March of 2014. Showing what some of the worst houses look like and what the new homes look like.
The community will get together and help the Missionaries to build the new homes. Those in the community that help with the homes in 2015 will be eligible for a new home in the future.
