Holy Innocents' has recently formed an international ministry group to promote the development of relationships between international partners and support small projects through prayer, education, and funding. Our hopes include widening our perspective, forming relationships with and connecting with our Anglican and other brothers and sisters, and helping on an international level through small and meaningful projects. In 2023, we are hoping to work with congregation El Salvador in Ambato, Ecuador and Buye Cathedral in Burundi and their water supply project.
