Welcome Ben!

For the first time we are blessed to have a short-term mission volunteer to join us for the Feb-May months this year! The A.C. welcomed Ben Jones from Summit, NJ for a 4-month internship here in Ocosingo. Ben was here last year with a group from Maumee, OH and also completed a Rotary International abroad study program in Thailand several years ago.

For now, Ben is working on a Spanish-translation of the Hebron USA website and exploring Mexican philanthropic possibilities to help with funding Las Manos de Cristo. Next week he'll be joining us in San Cristobal to help translate at a Clinica Oculista (eye clinic) with American doctors.

We're grateful to Ben and his family (Rev. Phil Jones and his wife, Susan) for their dedication to missions and willingness to join in to serve here in Chiapas. Please pray for Ben to have a positive and fulfilling experience and for the A.C. and the Presbyterian church here to benefit from his talents and willingness to serve. Watch for a link to Ben's own blog of his experiences here when I get the URL!
