Learn French - Hospitality in "the Cal-Pac way" can be in the form of knowing a few phrases in French as Special Guest Bishop Gabriel Unda Yemba of the East Congo Conference will be speaking with us through a French/English interpreter:
"Welcome!" > "Bonjour! BIenvenue. (Bien vuh noo)"
Note that the customary gesture of greeting and welcome is a handshake instead of a hug.
"My name is..." > "Je m'appelle..."
“Peace be with you / and also with you!” > "Que la paix du Seigneur soit toujours avec vous. (ke la pay doo sen-yer swa too-joor avek voo) / Et avec ton esprit. (ay avek tone es-pree)"
Learn About the East Congo Conference - Just a few months ago, United Methodist News Service produced a special series on the East Congo Conference with stories on the flourishing church in the midst of struggling schools, overwhelmed medical clinics, and orphans in need.
