THE CONGO!

Last September, a team of five of us from Hilton Church spent a week with a group of Churches in Charlotte, North Carolina. I was linked to a wonderful couple, Randy & Barbara Walker from Myers Park Presbyterian Church. I was amazed to learn from Barbara that she had recently been to the Congo on a Mission trip. From a British perspective, The Congo seems like a very dangerous place to go, and don't Americans stay at home at the first sign of any trouble! Don't believe all the stereotypes. The Congo remains a very dangerous place to visit, but Barbara is off there again! Read about it here. All of us who spent time in Charlotte were enriched by the friendships that we made that week. Hopefully, we will be able to welcome them to Hilton Church some day.
