Week 1: July 8-15 // Week 2: July 16-23
The Mission:
In 2017 Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, leaving thousands of citizens without power and causing serious structural damage to homes and businesses. Some families lost everything.
In the summer of 2018, Faith Church and Grace Church sent teams on a 2 week relief effort to help families in Manati, Puerto Rico get back on their feet. These teams embarked on reconstruction projects in the community and hosted a week long kids camp with the collaboration of city leaders and local churches. This created a beautiful picture of what the church is all about.
Since Hurricane Maria, the citizens of Puerto Rico have endured a series of major earthquakes (2020), and Hurricane Fiona (2022). Many families never recovered from Maria, and the continuation of devastation crippled their efforts.
God has compelled our church communities to once again return to Puerto Rico, this time to the Southwest region of the island, to continue to help families with the relief efforts of these disasters.
