Part of the mission of Christ Church is serving others in the spirit of Christ. Serving others can take on many different expressions both locally and globally. We are only limited by our imaginations. Still, we seek to be the kind of church that encourages members to be engaged in doing the kind of work Jesus calls us all to do. Being compassionate means putting flesh and blood on the gospel every chance we get.
Over the next week, our very own Cynthia Gunter will take a pilgrimage to Antigua, Guatemala. Through the Florida Baptist Children's Homes, she will be part of a team working with children and helping with facility projects at a malnutrition center there. The children served by the center range from seven months to seven years of age.
Through our Christ Church Volunteers in Missions fund, we will be supporting Cynthia and the malnutrition center with our financial gifts on this specific project. Please pray for Cynthia this week; for her safe travel and for the vital work she will be doing to help children there.
Trip updates will be posted here as we get them.
