The Vonks return to Niger

The Evangelical Church of the Republic of Niger, EERN, and Serving in Mission, SIM, have invited Ted and Eleanor to return to Niger to conduct teaching seminars for educators on Teaching with a Biblical World View. The Vonks are again going as volunteers with the Reformed Church in America, RCA. Christ Community Church members have provided scholarship funds for teachers to attend the Seminars, and have partnered with them in prayer. The Vonks will try to keep in touch with this church web-site during their assignment.
