In order to accomplish all of the projects the team has planned for the mission, the work first starts at home, as a large amount of supplies have to be packed and transported to Honduras.
Over the years the team has developed a well organized process for shipping the health-care supplies, including donated reading glasses, musical instruments for youth at the church, prayer shawls, and the supplies needed to build two jungle gyms and swing sets.
