A Note From Donna

Phil and I spent this past month in the U.S. visiting churches, giving reports, and visiting many of our generous donors and friends. We drove over 5,000 miles and covered a lot of ground. It is always a blessing to get to know new donors...

It is exciting to be back into the swing of hosting visiting teams. This year, Lord willing, we will host 13 groups. We have a variety of different teams including VBS in our school program, construction projects, medical teams, and surgical teams. Of course, we...

Thank you for the kind responses to our newsletter last month where we honored our son. It is still quite hard to absorb our new reality, but we are truly thankful for Harrison’s new reality. I wanted to share something that happened to Phil and...
