All Aboard!

Today, those who have excelled in ‪#‎Engadi‬’s Derek Program over the last month were rewarded with a day away from Paraíso to Guatemala’s Railroad & Train Museum.

Trashcan Community Service

The boys within the Derek Program have been busy working to take responsibility for and improve their community over the past few weeks.

Daily Prayer Request- October 23

Daily Prayer Request: While being involved in full-time ministry, it can be difficult to find the balance between focusing on outreach and communicating both our fruits and needs with the States.
