While the mudslides in Venezuela are over, the people of that South American country are still suffering from the aftereffects. Latin America Mission is looking for 20 to 30 volunteers to help on a short term missions team from July 17th to July 29th. LAM’s Polly MacHarg. “We’re going to be working at a distribution center. Sorting, getting things — the goods together so that they can be distributed. For example there are supplies like clothing, medicines that are still continuing to come in and those need to be gotten out.” MacHarg says tract distribution will accompany this outreach. She says while the mudslide happened in December, help is still needed. “There’s still a great deal of work that needs to be done. And, it’s an area, because it was so long ago in December we don’t want to forget them because they are still victims and we still need to do a lot of work in that area.”
