Nov. 18—Three Gainesville residents will take part in an annual church mission to Guatemala later this month.

Susan Mabry first visited the country of Guatemala in 2009. Ever since, she has served year-round as an outreach ambassador to the women and children of several Guatemalan villages.

A November trip will provide survival food bundles for 95 families, and will include a warm blanket and a Bible. Accompanying Mabry are three Gainesville locals — volunteer Constance Galubinski; First Baptist Church Assistant Pastor Daniel Jones and Travis Tudor, FBC Youth Minister.

Donations are needed and welcome to secure the food and supplies. Estimate for the food bundles are $50 each and the overall project goal is $5,000. First Baptist Church of Gainesville is sponsoring the trip.

Donations are being accepted by Mabry, 972-809-9982 or HandsforHim2009@ yahoo.com, or the First Baptist Church/Gainesville, 308 East Broadway or (940) 665-4347.
