Chris and Tonya Fikes compared their work building relationships and teaching the gospel among the Buddhist population in Thailand to the practice in India of patiently training rubber tree roots to cross rivers and gorges, forming living bridges. Scott Stork related his experience teaching in a China university while using evening hours to teach English with the Bible as text, and then having additional classes for those interested in further study of the gospel. They form house churches, but must limit each one to less than 20 people. Jerry Thornton told us about the current status of the Bazua Christian Academy and nearby churches in Northern Ghana. Facilities now allow for pre-kindergarten thru Junior High, and the first class will complete their studies and graduate this coming summer. Garrett and Stacy East stopped by KCC as they were making final preparations for their mission in Tabora, Tanzania, which began in September. Our congregation is blessed and privileged to be able to participate with these and other missionaries in God’s mission throughout the world. - John Knight
