Our missions to Moldova this summer are also an opportunity to donate new clothing (S/M/L) to the Moldovan leaders.  And 99% of Moldovan families make less than $60 a month, so a donation of $57 can send a child to camp and where the child might receive Christ.  Our mission teams can take your donations, so please bring them to the Cornerstone office by June 15^th.
