We're home! SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 09, 2007 Posted by: Grace Community Church | more.. The team arrived safely into Chicago at 8:00 PM. It is wonderful to go overseas to experience missions, but it is always good to be home! Thank you all for holding up the team in prayer as we served in Poland and the Czech Republic. Much was taught there and we received great reviews from those who attended the seminars. We are very grateful for the heartfelt prayers that are always necessary in order to make a trip like this a success. May God bless our efforts there and may much fruit come from the mission efforts of the team. The team: Pastor Bruce and Liz Roeder, Julie, Larry and Jake Ganschow, Jack and Gaila Roper, Nels and Ellen Huse, Jody Lokken.
