Welcome

 

Our special guests are retired missionaries, Jerry Bedsole and Don Cates, from Africa.  The Bedsoles and the Cates are retired career missionaries who worked with the International Mission Board for more than three decades.  Most of that time was spent in Africa.  Our pastor had the privilege of visiting the very places where these missionaries served and raised their families.
