Highlight #2: Jessie

Today our journey takes us down to Africa. My second highlight was meeting my new friend, Jessie. We visited at the opening reception. I was helping him find a free rescue shirt in his size. Short sleeves were requested by my African and Indian friends. "It's HOT where we live," they said!

Jessie had brought some paintings done by the youth he works with in his mission. They are better than anything I could ever dream of painting, and a couple were especially interesting, because they showed the culture of where he lived. I decided to buy one as a way to contribute to his ministry, and to have framed for the staff lounge to remember to pray for world rescue missions.

Ken and Jessie got to talking, and Jessie has asked if we would take his son as a rescue college intern. While he is studying, he will look at ways to stay in the country. He has already completed college, but cannot find work in his field. In the meantime, Jessie would like him to experience full time ministry.

This is very exciting! We are having a hard time finding volunteers at the Mission, particularly, full time interns. Who would have thought to look in Africa??!!
