Clifford Carter, an active layman and builder from Eastern Kentucky, completed a number of much needed projects on the campus of Goshen Adventist Secondary School. This boarding academy has an enrollment of 700 students. Some of these projects included expanding a milking barn, paint- ing the gymnasium where the evangelistic meetings took place, and renovating and sanitizing the school cafeteria.

Also, praise is given for lack of rain, no power failures during the meetings, traveling mercies of the 18 people from America, and the prayers of all the people interested in this mission. Memories of smiling children, mouth-watering tropical fruits, songs of praise, and new friends will forever remain etched in the minds of the entire mission team. It was with sad hearts and many tears that the team bid farewell to fel- low coworkers and friends. There will be a grand reunion in heaven very soon.
