On June 6, 2015 we had an opportunity for friends and sponsors of Hope Ministries to meet-and-greet the whole Beera family before they return to India. It was a pleasure to meet Jacob and Jaya's children, Jesse and Stacy, so now we can identify with them better as Jacob writes about them in his newsletters.
Although the Beera Family were the guests of honor, we had a great time of fellowship and many old friendships were renewed. The open house was held at the First Friends pavilion but there was a strong showing from High Mill and other area churches. Even with competing graduation parties, weddings and vacations, we were glad to see over a hundred friends turn out for the event. Maybe we need to do this again next year!
