I always have fun in the Clarkston area.\u00a0 There are just SO many different countries represented.<\/p>\n

Today was “Wonderful Wednesday” at Clarkston International Bible Church.\u00a0
\n\"c\"\"c2\"\"c3\"
\nOver 150 students from Dekalb Tech come for refreshments and a Bible story in the gym of the church.\u00a0 Pastor Phil Kitchin does a great job reaching out to the refugee community in the area.<\/p>\n

I had a meeting with a long term friend of our family: Ileko Mugalla from Kenya.\u00a0
\n\"k\"
\nShe was Kathy’s best friend when she worked there back in the early 90’s.\u00a0 Ileko is a working on doing medical research in the area.\u00a0 We hope one day to have medical services available to the community. Kathy and Ashley were working with the “Mommy & Me” program this morning at the church.\u00a0 There are some sweet children there!\u00a0 The mothers are learning English while Kathy and some other volunteers help take care of the little kids.<\/p>\n

I took three of the monitors that I picked up yesterday from Tyler’s church for Ileko’s office.\u00a0 She works right around the corner from Ashley’s mission at Kensington Station.\u00a0 I’m working on getting her some computers now.<\/p>\n

Also got together with Kevin Riley, another NAMB missionary.\u00a0 He has some teams coming in soon and I was helping him develop other locations where he could put them.\u00a0 I introduced him to several of the managers.<\/p>\n

Missed having roast goat at Madina today.\u00a0 I was hoping to eat there, but it’s closed due to Ramadan.<\/p>\n

Went to the mission at Azalea to help the kids with their homework.\u00a0 The carpet is still drying out from the flood we had there when the commode broke.\u00a0 What a mess.\u00a0 We threw a bunch more stuff away, so it’s not looking quite so bad now.<\/p>\n

Plus we have a dead rat somewhere in the wall.\u00a0 Lovely smell.<\/p>\n

That’s why they call it missions!<\/p>\n

We have some new Bengali families in our area.\u00a0 Always fun to meet new people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
