The primary focus will be constructing a house for a family near Chichicastenango, Guatemala. Our own NPC member, Janie Williams, is a Student Sponsor Liaison for Pura Vida Ministries and is excited about leading a group from Newnan.  On a work/construction trip with Pura Vida, volunteers work with a family and local team members to construct a 2-room home.

They are currently living in a rented adobe house.  The group is excited for this new adventure in mission work after almost 30 years serving the Sitpach community in Merida, Mexico. In addition to Janie, the NPC group consists of David Jones,...
