After long service in West Africa, Dale and Cheryl joined IFI in 2013 and began working among internationals in Cincinnati. They lead a weekly online “LIFE” group meeting for Chinese scholars and a monthly “First Friday” gathering and occasional activities for Friendship Partners. Cheryl coordinates the IFI Cincy Friendship Partner Program and facilitates an online course for the National ISEED program. They also meet one on one via live chats with current or past students and scholars. From time to time they host people at their Indiana country home or visit friends at their homes.
