On May 7, four Virginia Theological Seminary students left for a
mission excursion to St. Phillip's College in Kongwa, Tanzania. The team
includes Mark Riley from Southern Virginia (Galilee, Virginia Beach)
along with Chandler Whitman of West Tennessee; David Tremaine of Florida
and Ben Maddison of New Jersey. The students are joined by The Rev.
Jaques Hadler, Director of Field Education, Emeritus. The purpose of their journey is to help teach at St. Phillip's College, to work with local Church leaders, to learn from and be open to the opportunities and challenges of cross-cultural friendships. They have had a twisting road to get to this point, with several changes along the way. If you would like to follow their progress, please visit their blog by clicking here.
