Movin on up
My team on the MCC staff moved “up the hill” from the modular trailers where I’ve worked for ten plus years, to the “main building” called the Mountain Center. Bittersweet because many memories of Mod 3 through the years, but in the words of one of my teammates:
I’m thinking about the old show the Jeffersons and the opening song “Movin’ on up.” I’ve been in Mod 3 since day one (over 10 years ago) so it is bitter sweet. It’s not the walls, it’s the people, so I’m glad we’re Movin’ on up together

Myanmar meets Harford
“Myanmar team” dinner with R_ M_ visiting from Piedmont International University, pursuing PhD New Testament to eventually return to Mandalay, Myanmar to teach next generation Christian leaders, primarily tribal. R_ mentioned influx into Mandalay region of ethnic Chinese from Yunnan province. To protect R’s work in Myanmar, no pics of our dinner at Abingdon Fortunato’s — but even more than the tasty food, this was breaking bread together and hearing of those the Lord is adding to the saved.
