A Big part of our mission as a band is to donate profits to missions - so that is exactly what we will be doing. There are two candidates that we are praying about support with not only money, but our time as volunteers. The first is the wellspring community in Roatan Honduras - http://www.wellspringcommunity.cc. Wellspring is a budding missions project in the heart of one of the poorest areas of Coxen Hole - the largest city on the island. The community will be Training North and Latin Americans in missional living and they will be reaching out to the poor in Coxen hole through a local Church partnership.
The second is a global ministry program being run at our home Church in St Catharine's, Canada - Harbour Fellowship. The program is being run through PACE ministries in Kenya, Africa and includes a Bible college as well as outreach to the village of Nyahururu, Kenya and locations in Rwanda. One of the goals of this program is to equip Kenyan and Rwandan pastors with the tools and skills for creating local self-sustaining Church bodies that have the ability and drive to reach out into other communities and spread the good news.
