Yard Sale Will Support Peruvian Mission Chess Club Engages Young Players By Dayna M. Reidenouer
By Marcella Peyre-Ferry
When Dan Henryâs brother, Dave, spoke at Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church (MOPC) earlier this year, he stressed the importance of setting aside preconceived ideas when aiming to help people from other cultures. âWe donât want to do things our way,â Dan said. âIt is better to follow their directions.â Dan related that Dave, who is a Presbyterian pastor in Jefferson City, Mo., and the leader of annual trips to a sister church in Tamshiyacu, Peru, explained that point by using the example of a painting project in Peru. âThe project lead dumped paint thinner into the paint bucket, and then he dumped in more. We asked why, and he said the paint had to be thinned or it would never dry in the high humidity. If it had been up to us, we would have just started painting,â Dan reported See Yard Sale pg 3
