Field Highlight

The Africa East Field had the largest number of candidates for ordination ever in 2009 - 47! Dr David Graves, General Superintendent, was able to travel to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and officiate at the ordination services. We had three people from the Masai tribe as well as our first husband and wife team. What a great year. We give praise to God!
