Back from Burlington, Moveless in Coshocton

Wearing Out The Road Between Burlington, North Carolina and Coshocton, Ohio
Karen and I recently returned from another week working at MAG's headquarters in Burlington, North Carolina. While we wait for our house to sell (six months and counting!) we've felt/and continue to feel it's important for us to be in Burlington at least one week a month for direct interaction with Sean Donnelly (MAG President), board members, and office volunteers.While we're able to stay involved working remotely from Coshocton, OH on our computers, there's nothing like actually being there in the office with Sean. The hard part is always having to leave there at the end of the week.
                                        

This trip I prepared documents for MAG's board meeting. Karen followed up with medical contacts, vendors, and ministries that Sean and Dr. Crissman (one of MAG's board members) interacted with as part of the Technical Exchange for Christian Healthcare (TECH) Conference they'd just attended. We also spent quite a bit of time talking with Sean about mission vision, role definitions, administrative concepts, and operational procedures.

Sean leads us through a multiphase vision for Hospital Rus Rus.

 Karen and Sean debrief the TECH Conference.

Preparing materials for the MAG board meeting.

Sean's scheduled to arrive in Coshocton tomorrow (Saturday) evening after attending the IAMA Conference this past week in Michigan and making a presentation in Columbus, OH Saturday afternoon. We have the privilege of hosting him in our home through Monday. We'll probably set dates for our June trip to Burlington while he's here. 

Yesterday's Impromptu MAG Staff Meeting in Coshocton

Scott Grote, MAG Director of Aviation Maintenance, is back in town from two weeks at our hospital air base in Honduras and Paul Jones, our Guatemala Program Director, is back from a year of language study in Costa Rica. The three of us were able to meet here in town yesterday for breakfast and ministry discussions.
