The FUMY (Foothills United Methodist Youth) mission team spent the last
year working to raise the funds required to get to Mexico and to buy all
of the supplies to build a home for a family in need in a town near
Ensenada. Their lives were changed on this powerful trip and we couldn't
be more proud of what they achieved. If you missed their message and
testimony in church on the 6th, you can watch it online.
