John Porter and his family spent six months in Accra, Ghana, as part of a pastoral exchange with the Bubiashie pastor MK Atakro.This donation by the Rotary Club, along with contributions from within the Hill United Presbyterian Church, will enable the Partnership Committee to begin to help this struggling nation and growing democracy.———The
