Mission Trip: July 27-July 31

Eight mission trip volunteers from north Alabama recently ministered in Jalapa, Guatemala and nearby communities. The team consisted of Jeff Fowler, Jack Hamilton, Paul Murphy, Meredith Roy, David Skidmore, Janet Skidmore, Mary Skidmore, and Randy Stewart. All eight had previously traveled to Jalapa at least once. The purpose of the trip was medical missions and church support. Below is a review of the week in photos.
