Colmini

Located in the desert, Colmini faces additional challenges. Water is trucked into this small village and rain can cause flooding and erosion. Milk from a plant known to Americans as the "icky bush" burns the skin, so it is used as fencing. Yet the physical challenges do not hold this church and school from meeting the needs in their community. Join them on the journey.

pray for me

Here are just a small sampling of the children of Colmini. Please pray for one or more as the Lord leads.
