God knew the time, the season, the people and the land which His mission field was predestined to give birth to Righteous Leadership through Rev. Dr. Ray & Teri Charles, Special Assistants to Europe, Middle East & Liberia.

As I began my mission service with International Ministries, the pastor of my Mission Partnership Team gave me a framed copy of “Aidan’s Mantel.” This call and challenge has hung over my desk until now.
