Wellsville Native in Southeast Asia Missions

to Address Friendship Free Luncheon Group 

       FRIENDSHIP, NY - A noontime free monthly luncheon group will hear next week from a Wellsville native and Alfred University graduate, who started Vietnam's first business college along with a Southeast Asia church.

       The What God is Doing in Friendship NY alliance of churches will host the 12PM third Wednesday of the month public meal on April 16 at The Mission House outreach center, site of the former St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, offices and rectory at 28-32 East Main Street.

     Roger Ford and his wife, Holly, will join the group as they provide personal perspectives on their years in Southeast Asia.

     The couple are founders and overseers of Isaiah 61 Ministries which functions as a network of house churches and a mission-sending organization to Southeast Asia.

     Roger Ford received his bachelor's degree in public administration and master's and doctoral degrees in management from Syracuse University.  The former business professor also became a Fulbright Senior Scholar.

     Required reservations for the free luncheon and further information are available at WhatGodisDoing@outlook.com or at (585) 664-9989 by providing the name of each attendee, community of residence, email address and telephone number, including area code.

     Parking and handicapped access are in the rear of the complex.

     The monthly group luncheons are designed to acquaint area residents with various missions which are occurring from local to international.

      Last month, the What God is Doing in Friendship ny alliance of churches hosted a series of speakers nightly at participating churches during a Missions Marching Forward Awareness Week initiative.
