Africa: Doug Hiebert's Reflections

It’s been a great time having the Eds here with us – a slice of Cornerstone. It’s been a powerful time of ministry – ministering to the refugees and with the pastors. And these people have ministered to us. It’s getting back to basics: just being there with the refugees was the biggest ministry. Can you imagine? So for any others from Cornerstone who wonder if they could have a role here, let me assure you that you could. Just coming and walking with people and listening to their stories is all it takes. How easy is that? And as for the pastors, we continue to receive positive feedback regarding the seminar together. They are looking forward to the next one!

So many of you have given to people and projects here. We are blessed and encouraged by you and your generosity. I remain convinced that God blesses those who give generously to the poor (Is. 58). And from what we hear, God IS blessing Cornerstone.

We’ve also been blessed by you through the Eds. Thanks for sending them our way. Today they leave but we look forward to seeing the Cornerstone gang in a very short while. See you soon!!

Doug and Deanna
