A New Resident

Henry Chen has come to Mepkin and is hoping to live with us for a year. Henry is 25 years old and a native of Mississippi. He says he is coming to Mepkin as a leap of faith, on a spiritual search, seeking to understand God’s will in his life. It took Henry 48 hours to get to Mepkin, having traveled on eight different buses! Henry hopes to be open to the new world into which he is entering, as he does not come from any religious tradition. It will be a whole new experience. Already he has found Mepkin to be peaceful, welcoming, and uplifting.
