Our main goal this year in the US is to visit all our ministry partners. In the Fall Ron flew to MN in Oct. and to KS in Nov. In March I flew to CT where I had the opportunity to visit several Covenant churches, a preschool, retirement community. In each of those places I shared how lives are transformed through the ministry of Rain Forest International School.
One of several churches I visited in CT.
I also had the chance to get together with friends and family members, and see interesting local attractions. One of the first days there Pastor Scott & Robin took me on a drive to some very cool places, including Goodspeed Opera House and the Gillette Castle.
I got to spend a whole day with former missionary friends I’ve known since our”Zaire days”. We drove down to the coast and visited Mystic, CT. We were a bit early for touring the Mystic Seaport, but still got a personal verbal presentation from very nice guides who took time to tell us what to see and do when the attractions were still on “winter hours”.
And while none of us had ever seen the movie “Mystic Pizza” (nor really ever intend to do so), it just seemed right to have pizza in Mystic!
Another day I drove over to the next town to visit my cousin and her family. And on a free afternoon I got to be with Dr. Linda, whom I’d first met in Loko, Zaire (now Dem. Rep. Congo) when she was serving as short term missionary. Having kids around the same ages now, we had lots to catch up on.
After this trip, the only big ministry trip is to OK. After that all the churches left to visit are in MI.
