Tambillo, Ecuador Mission trip information

From March 8-21, we will have 46 persons traveling to Tambillo, Ecuador to build a church and conduct a medical mission and conduct Evangelistic meetings. The building program is conducted with Maranatha Volunteers International (see their website at http://www.maranatha.org/ for more information).

The group is comprised of construction and medical volunteers. Most of the team is from the West Houston Seventh-day Adventist church in Houston Texas. However, we have a "extended" church family that is going as well from many other states. They are either family members or have gone on previous trips.
