Mike & Melody are gearing up for a mission trip to Paraguay! The team they will be leading is going to the very small village of Quinta Linea in the Yrybucua (buzzards hole) district which is located in the interior of Paraguay.
They will be doing construction work on the Agrimissions building. This building is being designed to teach the local people new methods in farming and animal care. It will have classrooms for agricultural lectures, as well as rooms to house students or teams overnight. The roof and walls have already been completed, but it is still in need of floors, windows & doors. Each family in the area has their own small plot to farm and grows just enough food to feed their family. This new agricenter will enable them to utilize the modern farming advances they are taught in order to grow more abundant crops which will allow them excess produce and livestock to sell.
The team will also be leading vacation bible school at the
Susannah Wesley School. They will take 185 sweatshirts for the children, 160 health kits, 150 book bags and 10 soccer balls to distribute.
Mike & Melody will be leading this great group of eleven from Alpharetta First United Methodist Church. They will be joined by their missionary partners in Paraguay, Christian & Angelica Dickson.
Look for updates on this great trip, along with some great photos by Melody!
