Oakhill Church

This past Sunday we visited one of our local supporting churches here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We had a wonderful visit with the congregation and are always encouraged by the love they show to us. We are so greateful to all of you who support us with prayer and financial gifts and praise God for you all.
