Hilty Home, a retirement community and child care center in Pandora, officially became an affiliate member of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO) in Bluffton today, Oct. 15.

On Oct. 12, 22 Maple Crest residents from Bluffton made a “trek to India” through a colorful slide and video presentation by Julie Stratton of Bluffton.
As the Advancement Director in the Great Lakes Region for Global Disciples, Stratton recently spent three weeks in India participating in the three-point mission strategy of the organization: training locals in evangelism, leadership, and small business skills in order to share the Christian message among least-reached people groups.
