EMS Visit to JLSS
Rev. Andreas Maurer along with Rev. Ulrike Schmidt-Hesse and Ms. Ursula
Feist visited Schneller School on Wednesday 12 October 2011. This was
the last visit for Rev. Maurer who moved to another church appointment
in Germany having served EMS, EVS, and Schneller schools for so many
years. The Schneller Board held a meeting in Beirut with our German
partners on Tuesday 11 October after which a special dinner was hosted
by the National Evangelical Church in Beirut in honor and gratitude to
Rev. Andreas Maurer. Rev. Schmidt-Hesse and Rev. Klaus Schmid will
replace Rev. Maurer for one year after which it is expected this vacancy
will be filled by a newly appointed person.
Rev. Maurer, Rev. Schmidt-Hesse, and Ms. Feist spent Wednesday in JLSS
visiting the school and meeting with the director, Rev. George D.
Haddad, EMS co-worker, Mr. Hans Lehner, and EMS volunteers, Johannes
Michel and Thomas Ruppert among many others in JLSS. We thank our EMS
partners and friends for their visit. We especially thank Rev. Maurer
for his long years of service and dedication to Schneller schools. We
wish him the best in his new appointment.
