A Mission To Latvia

Recent meetings by the Global Outreach Team at Maple Ridge Baptist Church produced positive feedback towards a mission trip to Latvia.  There are two main areas of interest.  There are a group of skilled construction men that could take on one or two projects.  The roof on the Janz home is in need of urgent replacement.  Architectural drawings are already completed for renovations to the second major structure on the property.  The vision is to create accommodations that could provide a retreat setting for developing and strengthening Latvian Christians who are taking on leadership roles in bringing families, children other young adults into relationship with Jesus.
Among the MRBC congregation are other folks ready to organize and conduct an ESL program.
Both projects could be carried out at the same time.  This opens up the door for families or couples to be involved.
This would be a strong and amazing encouragement for the Janz family as they pursue the Lord's calling. MRBC has been a strong supporter of this mission for many years. The prayers of many and the will of God can be an unstoppable force. Let's be strong in prayer Lord that the people and resources needed will be assembled in the coming weeks.
