Missionaries scheduled to visit the PNW | By Joan Hackett
Drs. Jeff and Ellen Hoover, missionaries with the General Board of Global Ministries assigned since 1979 to the Democratic Republic of Congo, are coming to visit churches in PNW. Dr. Jeff Hoover is a professor at Katanga Methodist University. Dr.Ellen Hoover is a part-time professor at the United Methodist university in Mulungwishi where she teaches Islam and church history.
Churches that have a Covenant Relationship with them ($5 per member, per year) have first choice in visit times, but many other churches are hosting them too. Please check the list and attend a program at a church near to you. Supporting a missionary with a Covenant Relationship is one of the 5 Columns of Mission.
Please contact your District Secretary of Global Ministries for more details:
