From the Director, Summer 2024
Dear friends, What a hot summer it’s been so far! Thank God for air conditioning! In 1911, as a young 19-year-old ministry, the Mission built a brand-new 4-story dormitory building with 2-foot thick stone walls made of local Wissahickon Schist.

Dear Friends, It’s almost spring! I’m excited for longer hours of sunshine each day and warmer weather on the horizon. In the meantime, I’m very grateful that the buildings that have housed us for over a century still keep us warm and dry (there’s a wet wintry mix falling as I write this!). As…
