Alas . . . we must return home

By the grace of God and after an amazing six weeks of people, places, and experiences we will cherish the rest of our life, we're back with our conference family in New Wilmington, Pa. We thank God and the New Wilmington Mission Conference for an ineffably enriching time of learning, worshiping, and traveling in Korea. We would be honored to share with you our stories and reflections. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Soli Deo gloria.
