DR Congo

I've received another video about the mission in DR Congo.  We have a contact in North Carolina with a church that sends missionaries there regularly.

Nicaragua 2013

We are happy to report that the Columbus Medical Mission Team (Nicaragua '13) is formed.  We have 2 new members, Cole Fullner & Catherine Johnston, and they will be joining Karl & Sue Tillinghast, Tamra Boettcher & Dean & Carolyn Athey.  This will be the 4th trip to Nicaragua for the Tillinghast's & Athey's and Tamra's 2nd trip. 

Tamra will be taking on a dual role this time.  Her desire was to lead the children's ministry and she will do that with the help of Cole & Catherine.  She will also use her medical skills when necessary but felt her calling for this trip was to participate more fully in the spiritual side of the mission trip.  She has a lot of experience with the youth through her participation in her church and the people of Puerto Cabezas will certainly benefit spiritually & medically from her expertise. 

Our team has a lot of work ahead of us from now on but we look forward to all the challenges & efforts it will take to make our way back to Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua.  Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for our next journey.
