Renovation of the kitchen in the All-Nations meeting room in the Missionary Residence in Winona Lake, Indiana
A very special project this year is the renovation of the kitchen in the All-Nations room at the Missionary Residence in Winona Lake, Indiana. Funds are being raised through a memorial fund honoring Doris Julien, who oversaw the operation of the Missionary Residence for many years. The All-Nations room serves as a gathering place for missionaries as well as hosting functions for a number of organizations, churches and individuals.
