<p>Read about one of our Westwood Family, Agnes Wicki,  in the MB Herald&#8230;</p>
<p>Before she married, Agnes Wicki of Prince George, B.C., taught school in what is now DR Congo. Then came marriage, motherhood, and retirement from a Canadian teaching career. After her children (including Port Alberni church planter Paul Wicki) moved out one by one, Wicki once again took to the mission field.</p>
<p>As a cousin talked about the trip she’d taken to Ukraine with MB Mission’s Disciple Making International outreach, Wicki thought, “If she can do it, I can do it!” She started with Ukraine – one trip by herself, one her husband.</p>
