Fun with our Visiting Missionaries!

We recently had the wonderful opportunity of spending 2 whole weeks with our newest missionaries! Their schedule was packed with potlucks, games, family visits, meals and more. But along the way, we learned so much about their hearts for the Lord’s work and why they are giving themselves to His service. We praise Him for bringing us all together!

Meet the Puritans
