The Haspels

John and Gwen Haspels in Worship: April 26

Longtime missionaries, John and Gwen Haspels, join us for worship on Sunday, April 26. John and Gwen were ambushed and attacked in their car while driving in Ethiopia last fall. Miraculously, they both survived. They are back home in Kansas for a while, and we are excited to welcome them to Grace.
