Dan and Debbie Giles Honored

Giles Dan and Debbie Giles were honored this week at the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations Annual Conference.  The Giles have resigned as AFLC missionaries to care for Dan's aging parents. 

The Giles have spent most of their adult life as missionaries first with World Mission Prayer League and then the last twenty three years with the AFLC.  During the time with the AFLC the Giles worked in Mexico starting churches in Aguascalientes and Jerez.  They translated the Ambassador Sunday School material in to Spanish offering it free of charge over the internet.

At the Women's Missionary Federation service on Wednesday the Giles were honored and a reception followed the service.  Our prayers go with the Giles as they enter this new phase of their life.
