If you, your parents, or your pastor has any questions, please contact Rev. Jen Glass.
The 2008 trip was truly an experience that none of the youth will ever forget and a project that they will continue to work on for years to come. The youth were all blessed and touched in ways they never could have imagined. And they all realized that
Si-"Solo Dios Puede" - or Yes, "Only God can!"
