Departure Day!

It's finally here!! After a long journey of fundraising and organization this mission group of 5 raised all the money necessary to fund our project which came to a grand total of $46,000. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you have God on your side. As we leave the states we ask you to keep our team and also the Zambians in your prayers throughout our trip! We will be having mass tonight at St. Agnes church in Freeland at 6:30pm if you you would like to join and send us off with prayer! Lastly, apart of our fundraising this year was to fund raise prayers! As monetary donations came in we asked for special intentions or prayers they would like to offer up, here are what our amazing donors have said:

>Dear God, please guide and protect Alexis on her mission trip to Zambia. May it be a positive and successful experience for all involved. Safe travels and go with God -The Barry Family
