Girasolero!

by Daphne Hiraldo | September 23, 2024 12:30 PM

Our first stop today is at el Girasolero Farm. We are having a great time getting to know Eric, his animals and all the amazing work he does on this farm. We are so blessed to be able to see the progress this farm has made thanks to the hands of other missionaries that have come before. Teams are of great blessing to him since farmers like Eric don’t get a lot of help.

We are enjoying some delicious pinchos at piñones for lunch today. We are also enjoying the view of the beach and the nice breeze it has to offer. This is usually the lunch teams will have when they arrive early. We are so excited to continue seeing what God has in store for us this week.

PRCS!

by Daphne Hiraldo | September 24, 2024 4:11 PM

We arrived at Puerto Rico Christian School! We are taking some time to get to know this partner and see how the ministry looks at this school. Ministry can happen year round at this school, whether it is interacting with the kids during the school year and assisting in their chapel, English class and PE class; or helping maintain the facilities and green areas. 
PRCS!

Paletados!

by Daphne Hiraldo | September 24, 2024 4:13 PM

After an amazing lunch we are stopping for some ice cream at Paletados. After a long hot day this is a delicious treat to have.

Pastor Elvis!

by Daphne Hiraldo | September 24, 2024 4:15 PM

This afternoon we are taking the opportunity to get to know Pastor Elvis and his ministries. Some of these ministries include: homeless ministry, kids ministry and building houses for people in the community around him. It’s been a blessing being able to see his heart for ministry and learn how teams like us can come alongside him to serve and help him continue to reach the community. 
Pastor Elvis!

Pastor Samuel!

This evening we are getting to know Pastor Samuel. It’s a blessing being able to get to know his story and all the ministries he does.

Rehace!

by Daphne Hiraldo | September 25, 2024 4:57 PM

Pastor David’s church serves as a distribution center for Rehace. Today we are having the opportunity to pray over this ministry and prepare some cleaning kits for families that might need them after a storm. This is a great example of how we can come alongside our pastors and assist them in their ongoing ministries. 

Rehace!

Prayer Walk!

by Daphne Hiraldo | September 25, 2024 5:07 PM

This afternoon we are taking some time to walk around the community and  pray for it’s people. We are also taking this opportunity to help Pastor David invite the community over to his church to celebrate their 67th anniversary. This is typically something we will do alongside our partners on Sunday after service.

Luquillo!

by Daphne Hiraldo | September 25, 2024 6:57 PM

After an amazing few days of learning how a mission trip can look here, we are enjoying some down time at the beach of Luquillo. We are also taking some time to try out different typical Puertorican fried food here at the beach. This is one of the many options to choose from to enjoy some recreational time on the island.  

Luquillo!

Final Meeting!

by Daphne Hiraldo | September 25, 2024 7:11 PM

Tonight we are closing out our time together talking about the experiences we’ve had this week that we, as leaders, want our churches to know. We are also discussing other ways to support pastors outside of short term missions trips like our sponsor program,  PPM 365, where we look to be able to support our pastors year round. 
Final Meeting!
