Now that John is semi retired he has time to pursue other things. We traveled to Nicaragua 3 times in years past but then Columbus Medical Mission Team passed the torch to Global Passion Ministries. This February John is joining their group as a Mcgyver. They got an article in the Columbus Telegram last week to help promote their spaghetti feed fund raiser next Sunday at noon at Peace Lutheran Church. There are many inaccuracies in the article, but only those who know the mission well will recognize them.
