Our Senior Pastor Scott DeWitt, his wife Dani, and children Zach, Anna & Abby have arrived in the U.S.!  They have closed on their house and are looking forward to getting it ready to move into over the next several weeks before his August 17th start at Bethel.

The DeWitt’s have not requested help, yet the call committee knows their 8 years of missionary income and moving expenses have depleted them.  At our suggestion we thought it would bless them to help stain their house on Saturday, July 24th.
