May - Kids in the Meadows $437 sent to Reach Yorktown Ministries

by Amy Fowler

The June communion offering will go to Appointment Congo with Paul and Marty Law. Paul and Marty Law have served as missionaries ever since they graduated from Asbury College, in Wilmore, KY., in 1968. Paul Law grew up as a missionary child in the Congo where his parents served for 15 years until the death of his father, Burleigh A. Law, in 1964. Marty Stoneking Law was the daughter of a United Methodist pastor in the Kentucky Conference and had felt a strong call to missionary work in the Congo before she met Paul in college. The Laws were married in 1967 and left for the mission field the next year. The Laws came back to the States in 1977 for Paul to enter Asbury Theological Seminary. After seminary and several years of ministry in the States, the Laws decided in 1984 to return to the Congo (Zaire) until 2001. In May 2005, Paul and Marty felt a call to return, once again, to the Central Congo area, to participate in a vision of a spiritual renewal of the Church. Paul attended seminary with Pastor Steve Loft and the YMC has supported the Laws with our prayers and gifts since the 2000's.
