sponsored by Seniors Ministry, featuring WBC missionaries Philip & Jill Aspegren. While “birding” in this tropical nation is a favorite pastime of the Aspegren family, Philip and Jill are even more passionate about caring for children separated from their families and nesting them well so they can learn to fly. Casa Viva introduced local foster care to this Central American nation, and has now cared for over 1100 children in local families through the local church.
