When the Umali family, complete with four kids, started looking for mission service projects at their church, they realized that something was missing. Taking a step out in faith they mobilized a group of family and church members for a Maranatha project in Ecuador. Their encouragement paid off and now the Grand Rapids Central Church in Michigan can't wait to go again!

Volunteer Kathy Bollinger headed south to Chile with the Kansas-Nebraska youth group this spring. She found that her special skills and interests fit right in with local needs and was able to invest in some very meaningful gifts for the children in Talcahuano. Watch to find out what she gave them.

Another Maranatha supporter, Pastor Vince Saunders from Washington, tells the experience of bringing the Auburn City Church to Mozambique for a week of service different from anything they'd every done before.
