THE YEAR BEGAN STILL UNDER TIGHT RESTRICTION and A TIME WHERE OUR PARTNERS SHIFTED AWAY FROM LARGE GROUPS and TOWARD INDIVIDUAL CARE, MEETING BASIC NEEDS, and DIGITAL TEACHING MINISTRIES. THE SECOND HALF of THE YEAR WAS AN EXPLOSION of ACTIVITY AS THOSE RESTRICTIONS LIFTED. ALL of OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMS WERE QUICKLY BURSTING AT THE SEAMS.
