Youth Discovery Team leaves in one week!

CRANBERRY TWP., Pa. – Discovery Christian Church is sending a team of five adults and eight youths to El Salvador June 19-26 to plant a garden at a girl’s orphanage, help a local pastor with clean up from a recent mudslide, and feed the homeless.

Of the thirteen going to El Salvador, five youths are returning for a second time and three are going for the first time. Most of the group’s time will be spent at a state-run orphanage for about 150 girls. Church members will plant a garden that will be maintained by the girls and others at the school.

The volunteers will also help a local pastor whose family of five needs help cleaning up after the recent tropical storm that created mudslides. They will clean up dirt and work to prevent future mudslides.

Also, they will work with a group called YWAM to feed the homeless. Their goal is to invite these street children to the YWAM base and provide food and clothing. Games, songs and crafts will be offered to share the love of God.

Discovery has a couple living full-time in ministry in El Salvador.
