Program: Ethan Anderson shared his recent mission trip to Mafrag, Jordan. Ethan passed around a Jordanian menu, some candy and some money!! Ethan lived in Israel 14 years ago. Recently, he and his wife took a mission trip to Jordan volunteering for a local church. The town has doubled in size wth refugees and nearby is the largest camp of 80,000. The church provides classes in English, sewing, and youth sports. There are 160 students in the school and 72 kids in the sports camp. The West Liberty Interact Club sent toys with Ethan and Bethany for the children. This particular church has shifted from a focus on worship to a focus on development. Ethan noted a wide gender gap between men and women. Bethany and Ethan took $10,600 of monetary gifts with them from persons who knew they were going and wanted to contribute. The funds provided practical goods kits to 32 families.
