CHURCH VISITS
We visit our support team churches in order to report in-person about our ministry. We also try to visit individual supporters. Along the way we enjoy our family and find some relaxation and refreshment.During late 2023 and all of 2024 we were able to visit our 10 supporting EFC’s in the US. This happened in between our trips to Asia. In 2025 we hope to visit our 11 supporting EFC’s in western Canada.
In 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2015, and 2017 we took short home assignments of only a few months. In 2020 we were scheduled for another short home assignment but due to covid and Dale’s unrelated auto-immune disease (he is doing OK now), we were only able to visit a few churches.
We try to factor travel costs for visiting our support team into our annual ministry budget.
