Dress A Girl Dresses Blessed Honduras

The GAP team from Browncroft Community Church just got back from Honduras.  They brought with them 375 Dress A Girl Dresses and 37 boys shorts sets.  All of the dresses provided to this Mission's team were handmade in honor of Mary Jo Colligan's (DAG NY Rep) sister Marissa.  Marissa was murdered earlier this year, so they were made extra special in honoring love for her. 

I've only learned a little so far about their trip.  I can't wait to talk to them in person.  What an amazing work they have done in the name of Jesus!  Praise God!
