VOM Presentation in Santa Barbara

Last Sunday the VOM team had the opportunity to share with the Ocean Hills Covenant Church in Santa Barbara California. We not only got to meet some great people there, but also got to tour a beautiful (but still a little cold for us Micronesians) city. Joyce and I, with Jaynee and Jayleen, stayed with Doug and Marian McKenzie and had a great time getting to know them and the many interesting friends that they have. Actually, one of the best parts of the trip is the home stays, where we get to really share with and get to know people and they get to ask questions and really get to know us and the ministry of PIU in the islands. Here are some pictures of the presentation at OHCC and our tour around Santa Barbara...
