ABCNJ Puerto Rico Mission Trip

November 13-20, 2021

While we had to postpone our mission trip to Puerto Rico due to Covid, we are excited to announce that we can now announce our rescheduled date!

The American Baptist Churches of New Jersey (ABCNJ), in partnership with the American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS), is providing an opportunity for our churches to get directly involved in “Rebuilding, Restoring, Renewing Puerto Rico,” a multi-year initiative following the devastation caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. These violent storms damaged and destroyed much of the infrastructure and homes on the island. Most of our sister churches have been restored, so the focus has shifted to working on the houses still needing repair. ABCNJ and ABHMS continue to answer the call, but much remains to be done, as tens of thousands of homes in Puerto Rico remain without the roofs that were torn away during Hurricane Maria’s fury.

For more information, please get in touch with our mission trip leader Rev. Dr. Mark Stauffer, at staufmark@gmail.com or 609-298-4045.
