The Connection ministry at Countryside Mobile Home Park Welcome to our page! Here you will find updates about events and happenings around Countryside!
The Mission Statement
The Connection ministry was established to connect the residents of Countryside Mobile Home Park to Jesus Christ. This is achieved by providing onsite "incarnate" missionaries to develop relationships and demonstrate Jesus' love for this community. Another method is by facilitation of relationships between the local Church and the residents of the mobile home park. These relationships are nurtured by coordination of weekly, summer, and holiday events. "And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us." Acts 17:26-27

A close friend of mine from Xaaga, near Mitla, Oaxaca, Mexico contacted me last week seeking help for a need. He knows a family that has a 14 year-old boy with cerebral palsy. He needs a wheelchair. I found him a very nice one that a Countryside family is willing to donate, but it has small wheels and is for indoor use, whereas the family lives in a shack with a dirt floor that wouldn't work out well with the small wheels. They need an all-terrain type wheelchair that they can fold up to put in the back of a Nissan Sentra-sized taxi so they can take him to therapy each week. (They don't have a car.)
The Connection is stepping in to buy this wheelchair, which the family says is the one they need. It costs $235 U.S., delivered to Mitla. A 7 year-old girl in Lancaster is making and selling artwork to help pay for the chair, and I hope others will get involved also. If we raise extra money, we can pour the family a cement floor for @$400.
If you want to donate, you can PayPal money to paypal.me/tenBensels and put "For Wheelchair" in the description.
