Founder/Director Fred Curry, Director of Children’s Ministries Gabriela Arias, Chief Administrator and chef, Ros Rivera Arias, and worship leader, Johnny Mendoza joined us in worship and shared about the mission and ministry of Rice and Beans. Rice and Beans Ministry is dedicated to bringing hope and joy to children living in poverty in Costa Rica, Brazil, and the United States by feeding families, providing safe housing through construction projects, and aiding in education by providing uniforms and school supplies. We have collected $939.00 to date, but you can give to support this ministry all month online, via our Vanco Mobile app, or in the offering basket throughout September.
