SMP Photo of the Day--Puppets!

Some fun scenes from the "SMP Mexico 2007 Players" during an outreach.



Statistics tell us that childhood is the most
essential time to reach people with the
Gospel, yet many missionary endeavors are
geared towards reaching adults. SMP participants have an opportunity to reach out to people of all ages through a variety of activities.



So how about you . . . when did you first learn of Jesus' love?

SMP participants live and work among CRWM career missionaries, getting a day-to-day view of what missionary life is really like.
