THE TURNER FAMILY IN AFRICA

Clarence (Rev. Butch) and daughters Clarice and Judia went to Kenya (Mumbasa and Taiti Hills) with the IAMS Ministry. They were among 13 pastors and workers from the United States that left on November 23, 2009 for this 13-day trip. This organization, International Alliance Ministry Service, has long been active in the building of schools and churches for the people in Africa.


There was a lot of preaching, teaching and fellowship done by Rev. Butch, Judia and Clarice. The people loved them all in a big way and they are still getting phone calls from Africa regarding the appreciation the people had for them. Of course, they had time for sightseeing and a safari.

They also had lots of time to enjoy the beautiful evenings in their hotel that overlooked the Indian Ocean. This was, indeed, a trip of a life-time.

  1. Not only did the Turner family have a fantastic trip in Africa, they also added immeasurably to the goodwill from America to Africa. This was a trip to be remembered for all time.

  2. Congratulations, Rev. Butch, daughters Clarice and Judea!!!

    You are treading into territory that is extremely beneficial to the lives of so many people and I want to make sure that you realize the importance of what you have done, will do, and will continue to do in the decades ahead...

    Especially with the onslaught of the Haitian Earthquake, we now know that the vigilant attention to the needs of people on the other side of the world create sea tides of concern and change on this side of the world. You and your family are at the head of the pack. Keep up the superbly outstanding work.
    hugs, Thomas
