Mission at PBPC

In june Grace and Michael came to visit our church. Today t hey are visiting and they leave here on the 31st. They will go to Bethlehem and be together there for three months. What's next? What's your calling? What do you see in the near future? Thank you so much Genie and thank you for having us. It's a real privilege to be with you. We have been actually invited to serve in Lebanon with the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary. I would be serving as faculty and Michael will be serving as a chaplain and of course it's an answer for our prayers, because we feel deeply connected to the middle east. We appreciate learning in the West but we want to use what we have learned to bless our peoples lives in the middle east and it's a great opportunity to be in Lebanon, where there is a lot of struggles and hardships. This is actually a very exciting opportunity because I will be particularly helping female students. Arab women in the middle east are not often encouraged...

The backyard dinner with Addis was a delightful update of the amazing work being done through Addis towards the Church in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.
