Community appreciation event planned to help benefit local missionary family
PICKENS — On May 16, PS Chiropractic will be hosting a community appreciation event to benefit a local family who is preparing to go into the mission field full time.
The Rev. Steven and Candace Day have been in ministry together for seven years at LIFEchurch in Dacusville. Last summer, after a mission trip to Honduras, both felt a strong burden for the churches and people of Honduras. Shortly after their return, an opportunity was presented to them to go into the mission field full time in the mountains of La Entrada, Honduras.

They will be living behind a church in La Entrada and working closely with that pastor and his staff to provide support and resources to pastors in
