SERMON SERIES: 

THIS SUNDAY, we welcome our mission partners Albino and Sandy Rodriguez and their children Doriana, Toby and Felicity. The Rodriguez family lives in Cusco, Peru where they facilitate a ministry with young adults who are moving from rural areas into the city for work and education. Through la Casa del Maestro, young adults have an opportunity to live and participate in Christian community while taking next steps into adulthood. We are excited to hear more from Albino and Sandy, and discover ways we can further invest in their wonderful mission. You can read more about La Casa del Maestro here: https://www.casadelmaestro.org
