The Spoke – July 8th 2009

Last week Susan Scmitt our Speaker Chair for the month of July, introduced us to Rev. Dr. James R. Berger. Rev. Berger, a member of the Estero Club, is a graduate of Westminster College, the Fuller Theological Seminary and the San Francisco Theological Seminary. He also serves as Pastor of the Hope United Church. Reverend Berger serves on the Board of Directors for Beth-El Farmworker Ministry parent organization for Mision Peniel. He provided a very compelling overview of the plight of migrant farm workers. As workers always outnumber available jobs, they struggle to maintain themselves and their families. Mision Peniel attempts to offer outreach, a tangible sign of which is the meal program Reverend Berger described. Thanks Reverend Berger for your ministry and for a very thought provoking program.
