Vancouver, CA Mission Trip
Do you know who the Persian people are? They are a people group from Iran who speak Farsi. Many of them have been displaced over the years due to persecution in their home country, and they desire a deliverance from their troubles. On our mission trip to Vancouver, CA, you will have the opportunity to teach ESL to these people, do construction on their ESL building addition, and evangelize people on the city streets. Strike your fancy? Join Pastor Garrett for an interest meeting on May 14 at 5:30pm in C120. Feel free to bring in your meal as we discuss the trip.
