The reservations are made. Chuck and Ramona Shawver are in Chiapas now preparing for our Short Term Mission Trip. We will leave June 13.
We have nine people going with this summer. Three college students, one high school student, one "twenty-something" (who happens to be a police officer in Pueblo), a thirty something, and three of us with a few too many birthday to be told publicly. For several, this is the first international mission trip. For others, it is the first trip out of the country. - Austin Shelman (Ecumenical Church, Pueblo West)
- Paige Van Ostran (FBC Laramie)
- Ben Prather (American Baptist, Fort Collins)
- Eileen Simon (American Baptist, Fort Collins)
- Heather Goodman (FBC Fowler CO)
- Reginald Fletcher (Ecumenical Church, Pueblo West)
- Tammy Smith (FBC Fowler, CO)
- Chris Oldham (Highland Park, Colorado Springs)
- Mike Oldham (FBC, Colorado Springs)
We will be working in the village of La Ceiba which is in the mountains of the State of Chiapas in Southern Mexico. We will be working to expand the church building in La Ceiba, we will do some kids programs with the children, and Chris (RN) will do some basic first aid and health care with the women of the village.
We will continue to post on this blog before and after the trip. We hope you will pray for us as we go to serve
Below is the slideshow from our trip to Chiapas last February.
