\"blog<\/a>Tim & Ann Wester, long time missionaries,I mean, really really long time missionaries, both having grown up in DRCongo, have finished up their term here. \u00a0They are heading for the states now, for a year of home assignment, catching up with family, friends, and supporters. \u00a0They will be missed, with their hard work and contributions here, there, and everywhere. \u00a0Ann taught at the bible school, and those new pastors are now out in the big world. \u00a0Tim & Ann both taught at the nursing school, and those new registered nurses will soon be out in the big world too. \u00a0The mission houses are mostly empty, just the local pastor and our old neighbor, Jean-Claude and family, will be left in the main circle.<\/p>\n

Please pray for Tim & Ann, for a year of great visits and refreshing times in the U.S., for the Lord to bless them and make them a blessing to others.<\/p>\n
