Missions and Charities we support

Jamie and Marion Lee are in Paraguay, South America. They work with many children and youth in the local church and amongst schools and childrens homes out in the countryside. Jamie is an artist and paints big colourful Bible scenes, with verses, on huge boards which they then take out and donate to public places such as hospitals and childrens homes and schools. They use this as an opportunity to share the great news and bring colour and life and Gods love to Paraguayan childrens lives.
