Today it feels ever more important to ask how we can respond to God’s call to serve. How can a small covenant community begin to address the challenges of a world that at times seems so lacking in hope? St. David’s has answered this call for the last seven years with its annual mission trip to El Hogar de Amour y Esperanza, or “The Home of Love and Hope,” in Honduras. El Hogar is a boarding school for orphaned and impoverished boys, housing 80-85. In 2007, El Hogar also established a smaller girls’ program, renting a house for eight girls and their caretakers.

This year, St. David’s team - comprised of some seasoned missionaries and others on their first mission trip - are: Andy Bluhm, Jan Carson, Richard Decker, Terri DeSimone, Christopher Gegenheimer, Clint Hanback, Jerry Hayes, Elaine Jurek, Michael Perales and Allison Weitzel.
