Think Church Is Only About Sitting In A Pew On A Sunday Morning? Consider Transfiguration’s Mission & Outreach Efforts.
H Honduras:
The Emilia D’Cuire Special Education School in La Ceiba provides education and vocational training for disabled children who are not allowed to attend regular school.
A Africa:
Archbishop Valentine Mokiwa’s school in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania educates Christian and Muslim children side by side, helping to bridge the divide between the two communities.
N New Orleans:
Our mission teams have made ten trips to repair homes in the Broadmoor, Gentilly, Lower 9th Ward and other neighborhoods. We have partnered with Christ Episcopal Church Slidell and the Free Church of the Annunciation. Annunciation has served over 70,000 people from her relief center since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in August 2005.
D Denver Homeless:
The St Francis Shelter serves over 300 people daily, treating each individual with dignity and respect. Our teams help administer semi-annual censuses and provide services to the homeless through the Day Program once a quarter.
S Student Mission:
Our middle school and high school youth serve in a variety of ways: locally with Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army; regionally through the Denver Inner City Parish; and internationally in Juarez last summer.
