A NEW CHAPTER…

Posted by on Oct 24, 2014 in Global Impact Director, Uncategorized | 0 comments

Opening a new chapter of life can be stimulating and intimidating. For Connie and me it’s been both as we adjust to this new reality of being permanent residents in the USA after 26 years in East Africa.

Gratitude for our trip

What an incredible trip God granted us. Our team saw so much in Guatemala that revealed His magnificence. In a community with deep problems, the Learning Center is a light. Connection Pointe’s sponsorship plays a important part in sharing His love. Our team’s diversity allowed each person to be a valuable part of one body. Unity helped us to focus on our mission. Your prayers made a difference in ways we cannot know. May we return to Indiana with closer relationships to Christ, and...
