Clock March 15 2010 by Dianna L. Cagle, BR Assistant Managing Editor
“To know someone is concerned, to know that someone wants to know them and know of their lives and needs, to know that someone wants to be their co-workers — all of this is highly valued in our country where guests are often treated as royalty,” said Bert Yates, an International Mission Board missionary in Kenya. ...
