Wow! There were over 5000 people attending this year's summit. We got to meet a lot of very special people both from the United States and Israel. We drove down on Saturday, set up our tent in College Park MD. in a lovely campground called Cherry Hill Park. We relaxed for the evening, it was still in the low 90s and humid. Sunday morning we were up and going to Pastor Frimpong's Church, World Ministry Church International. It was so good to see Pastor Frimpong and his wife Nana, as we have not seen them since last year. this time Pastor Frimpong was going to be preaching at another church in Silver Springs MD, Miracle Tabernackle Assebly of God and he asked us to go with him, which we did. What a great church and on fire for the Lord! We were bless to be there and was blessed again with a offering to RFMI. Afterwards, we went back to Pastor Frimpong's church to their Worship group's practice. Then he asked us to go with him to minister at a Rest Home where he ministers every other Sunday. Karen & I got to help Minister there, what a joy to serve God! Then we got to take time to be with the Family and got reaquainted. then it was time to get back to the tent.
