Members of the Advent Lutheran Church of Boca Raton and the Holy Spirit Lutheran Church of Juno Beach will be traveling to Haiti this summer.

Fourteen adults and youth are on a mission trip to the Village of Hope in Croix de Bouquet, Haiti to teach Vacation Bible School to 143 third and fourth graders. Both churches have taught Vacation Bible School for the last two years at the Village of Hope. They will be leaving on July 10^th and will be teaching for a week.

Village of Hope has over 600 students from kindergarten through 13^th grade (grade 13 is a preparatory year before university). Part of the Lazarus Project, Village of Hope is an interdenominational mission sponsored by over 80 congregations throughout the United States.

“After the earthquake, it is more important than ever to bring God’s message of hope and new life to a country devastated by systemic poverty, illness and natural disaster,” said Pastor Rich Barbour.
