The HCA theme for 2009-2010 is, “I am sending you...” (John 20:21). This year we will be working to improve the lives of children in Thailand, a country in Southeast Asia. Sixth grade students may volunteer as Student Mission Representatives who will lead HCA activities in Sunday morning classes. Our program will kick off on September 20 with training of the Student Mission Representatives and class presentations. We look forward to sharing ways to make a difference in the lives of all God’s children through prayer and action!
