The El Salvador trip team will be led by South Bay member Elizabeth Marquez and Pastor Hector Hernandez and his wife Ilsy from Cleveland First Hispanic Church of the GCC. Good progress has been made toward the $8,000+ budget. Some have asked how to help provide funds for the evangelism series and for improving the church. Those who want to help support this project may donate giving to our Foreign Mission Fund (write this in under church budget on tithe envelope or select it via our GIVE link at Southbaysda.org) over the next couple of months or you may also contact Elizabeth and give her your contribution directly but that will not provide you with a tax deductible receipt.
