We will be staying at Faith Village and will be working with local homeowners to help them in their rebuilding efforts. If you are interested in participating in the mission trip or in contributing to the effort, please contact Sandy Nicholson (210-859-7448 or sanartjam@aol.com) or David Germer (210-251-9611 or davidgermer@gmail.com).

You would be trained what to do and shown where various items are located. Please contact Larry Adamson (210-655-2669 or larbunad@sbcglobal.net) if you are interested
