Icy roads along with a foot or two of snow didn't stop the Dallas Oregon Maranatha mission group from embarking on a mission to Fresia, Chile. On Dec. 21, 2008, they traveled through wintery weather to the Portland airport, only to find it was closed. However God was watching out for the group and a plane appeared in the sky through the snow and rain. Only three planes left the airport that day; the group's plane was on one of them.
Their mission was important and worth the difficult travel. In Fresia, Chile, a small congregation needed a church. They had been praying for 18 years, and God used the team to answer their prayers. With more than 23 builders plus a few church members the church was finished in seven working days.
