I'm so sorry to hear this. Mr Neil Peters in April 1974 was the chair of the missions committee of the Silberfeld Chortitzer Mennonite Church. He asked me on behalf of that committee if I would consent to going to Ethiopia to represent the CMC in famine relief. What Neil did not know was that a week earlier, a mission representative came to Prairie Bible Institute, asking for volunteers to go to Ethiopia. This tugged at me, but I had just signed a contract to travel for the school for a year, representing the school in Canada and USA, and I was concerned about breaking a contract for something that might just be personal desire. So I prayed: "God, if you are in this, please send me all the support I need. I won't tell a soul I'm interested." A week later, Neil talked with me. It changed my life. I know many in Neil's family, and I think of you now. I loved your father. May he rest in peace. Regards, Al Kehler.
