The first KNCSB partnership team to Portugal left on Thursday, April 17, for nine days of ministry.
The team of 36 people consists mainly of the Kansas-Nebraska Singing Men and some of their spouses. In addition, Mari Jaquith, KNCSB director of Women in Missions and Ministry, is leading a group of women on the team.
Plans call for the Singing Men to stage concerts in a variety of settings, including churches, schools and community centers. Other ministry activities will include food distribution and working with children in a day camp.
David Manner of KNCSB is directing the Singing Men. He asks Kansas-Nebraska Southern Baptists to pray for safety, logistics and flexibility for the team members.
