We had special friends from southeast Asia with us on Sunday, and CIL really blessed this couple.  This family invest in the lives of people in a remote, overlooked country.  By teaching trade, life skills, English and sharing everyday life, our friends are making a huge difference.

Even though our friends were blessed financially by CIL‘s generosity, I was especially proud of our church for engaging emotionally.  The friendliness, love and conversation from our congregation was truly refreshing to our guest.  Thank you CIL for being a place filled with the love of God.

On a personal note, Beth and I loved the fellowship we shared with these colleagues.  We were refreshed, too!
