Janet McCarty …
Philippines, who has a covenant relationship with Richmond/Chester Heights UMC, plans to be in the SIC June 12-16.
Maimunah Natacha …
Indonesia, was the subject of an e-mail from Bill Imler which he wanted to share. Natacha's communication, filled with both tragedy and praise to God for guidance and care, was filled with heart-touching stories of devastation and concern. In late January, she was recovering from shingles, when Indonesia (already facing unsettling national problems) was caught in a terrible crisis of flooding. Natacha's descriptions of life-threatening hardships, inconveniences, smells, garbage, loss of belongings and the responses of Christians, tugged at the hearts of all readers, especially those of us who know her. She wrote, ". this country is missing in peace and smile." Natacha, a leader in her country and one of the speakers at a conference on "How To Handle Food In Jakarta," is an amazing person.
