Broken Chains began in 2005, when lay members from Elk Grove, California, went on a short-term mission project to Guatamala. Each year they have returned to Guatamala, providing medical relief and evangelism to those living in abject poverty. Since 2005, they have provided care for 10,000 people and baptized more than 100. Offering funds will help establish a permanent clinic on an 18-acre property, as well as provide a wall for protection, a bridge for access, and a well to provide clean water.
