The group showed

GOD’s love by giving a

with her, sharing the

Gospel, and leaving

her and her

granddaughter with

gifts.

Her heart was touched

and she began to cry.A farm along with other building at the bottom of the hole

Sharing the Gospel with farmers family

The short term team was from Hagerstown Bible Church (HBC). The farm family

trusted in Christ. HBC boughtand delivered 4 cows to the

devastated farm family. The farm family had noEvangelical church to attend.

So CiM brought HBC leaders and pastorDale Carver together with another

church CiM helped build. The latter will traina pastor for the new church. HBC is

providing funds for building.

So CiM brought HBC leaders together another Costa Rican church CiM helped build.

A three way partnership between CiMwill provide teams to help build a church—

physical labor and evangelism. HBC willfund the materials. The Costa Rican church

helped with the concrete floor will train and send

a pastor to the newly built Church.This is CiM’s heart.

CiM facilitates short term mission trips. We bring American churches together

with foreign churches.
