Today was another day of Christmas gift distribution in Honduras. I can’t wait to share pictures with you all… unfortunately our internet connection is a bit weak so uploading photos is a challenge. If you are a Cross Point attender, I hope you’ve been partnering with us in our 12 Days of Serving. Some of […]
