Some big news everyone- I’m getting ready to change ministries.  I’m staying with Ethnos360 but will be doing so in the USA.  I’ve been asked to take on the role as bookkeeper for the Ethnos Retirement Homes in Sanford, FL.  It is one of those ministries that is essential but not necessarily ‘glamorous’ as far […]
