Through Summer Service, Yessenia Rivas, of Iglesia Menonita Palo Hincado in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, helped with summer bible schools in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Serving, she said, "is really a true way of sharing our Christian faith, following Jesus' example." And it's been a summer of growth for her as she has learned more about the needs around her. "One of the things that helps you grow is helping others," she said.
