Ardel and Gordon Graner's visit to our Church
|
Ardel and Gordon Graner, our missionaries in the Dominican Republic, spent an evening with us on August 21, 2019. We learned about their work in Christian education among the churches they serve in the highlands near the Haitian border. In addition to providing educational workshops and support, they are distributing solar ovens and training people how to use them. The ovens are economical for families (they don't have to buy coal or wood) and are environmentally sustainable. The Graners host Volunteers in Mission, which include medical clinics set up in local churches.
