Gene in Jamaica 1999 with Dental team

My first Mission Trip was to Jamaica in 1995 (and for the next 13 yrs.) with "Uncle Gene" as we affectionately called him. I treasured the times we spent talking about the Lord and seeing God's hand move in Jamaica, and at Good Samaritan. He was truly a giant of a man in building up the Kingdom of God. His work and dedication will be seen and remembered for years to come. My prayers are with you.
