  • travel shampoos (or travel size empty bottles we can fill)

  • washcloths
  • bandaids
  • small tubes of neosporin/antibiotic ointment
You may drop any of these donated items off in the church office. Please mark them for the Honduras Trip.

Also, please pray for the following people from our church as they prepare to go on this trip: Christina, Erik, Brenda, Ross, MaryKate, Jan, Alex. Also pray for Jill (optomestrist), Cory (Jill's husband) and Jill's assistant as they will also be joining the trip to do eye exams on the 240 orphans.

The Kids Konnections kids (Kindergarten to 4th graders) raised about $400 for the "Links of Love" project, which we are using to purchase shoes for the orphans and Spanish/English books for the children. WAY TO GO, KIDS!!
