I would also like to point out that the members of the which explains the guidelines for the relationship of a congregation and former pastor.

3 Strangers in Kenya: Oh, the Places You ll Go! yesterday, the selected student speaker read from Dr. Seuss's classic book, Oh, the Places You'll Go. But immediately...not eventually. You don't stick around here once your schooling or your work term has ended. take away hundreds more just hours after graduation countries and new college homes. Oh, the places they go...and they go fast and they go far! Another place where people are going from-- stable enough to enable hundreds of missionaries to work in the nascent country. Last week, that security collapsed. Please pray for the believers in South Sudan to be protected and to be bold in their commitment to Christ. Also pray for our many missionary colleagues who are evacuating to do so safely and with clear future direction. Lastly, Ryan and Heather are taking advantage of our proximity to the Mediterranean while here in East Africa to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary journey.

4 Book Club The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. Anyone interested in participating can get a copy of the book from Jennifer Rudolf or Geri Jacobs. Goodreads.com summarized the book as follows: Amir is the son of a wealthy Kabul merchant, a member of the ruling caste of Pashtuns. Hassan, his servant and constant companion, is a Hazara, a bond is torn by Amir's choice to abandon his friend amidst the increasing ethnic, religious, and political tensions of the dying years of the Afghan monarchy, wrenching them far apart. But so strong is the bond between the two boys that Amir journeys back to a distant world, to try to right past wrongs against the only true friend he ever had. unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-ofa-kind classic.
