The Way Station is one of our local community ministries that provide food for those in physical need with the truth of the Gospel message to meet the spiritual needs. Our VCC Youth Ministry helps the Way Station in their work by collecting canned foods all year long and by serving food to those in need at the ministry during Thanksgiving week.

VCC has been involved with IDT for over 5 years in support and partnership in serving and sharing the gospel to the Mexican people. VCC has built 2 homes over the past several years for 2 different families in need. The homes are constructed from 2x4's and plywood with a concrete slab.

In the summer of 2007 we not only built a home, but we adopted the family the home is for. We support this family monthly and stay in continual contact with them. We help make sure that the children are all in school and given the best chance of gaining an education and being able to gain the hope of some day moving out of poverty. The children are also educated at least weekly in Bible school headed up by a wonderful local missionary Elia.

We continued the work in the summer of 2008 by completing repairs and upgrades to the house including electrical and insulating the inside of the home. We held a Vacation Bible School for the children at Elia's house at the same time repairs were being completed.

Due to economic struggles in the States during the end of 2008 and 2009, we have not been able to go back, however we continue to stay in contact and support our Mexican family.
