May highlights: As soon as our spring Learn & Serve retreats finished, we began to welcome our Field Study participants to campus. Halfway through this training, our summer interns arrived. Meanwhile, final preparations were being made for our summer international mission teams to travel to Ecuador and Bolivia.

June highlights: Youth groups arrived for Blessed Are... at SIFAT in Alabama. From the traditional week-long program to weekend retreats, our Learn & Serve Summer Experience is off to a great start. In Ecuador, our combined medical/construction/VBS mission team saw almost 400 patients, continued building the addition on the church in Machachi and hosted VBS based on the fruit of the Spirit. At our Central American Training Center in Costa Rica, another training seminar kicked off.

As you can see, things are busy at SIFAT, but in the best way! When all of our departments are welcoming participants and seeing activity in programs and projects, it is invigorating. We are actively Sharing God's Love in Practical Ways! Our staff may end their days tired, but with new stories of lives being transformed because of SIFAT. None of this would happen without your support through prayers, contributions and participation.
