I am one of the co-facilitators of the Micronesian Committee of the Hawaii Conference, United Church of Christ. From the files of Rev. Tuck Wah Lee, I learned that the Micronesian Committee of the HCUCC was established by the motion made by Rev. Chester Terpstra at a Aha Pae`aina gathering of the HCUCC. I want to obtain as much information about Rev. Chester Terpstra and his role in the Micronesian Committee of the HCUCC. I will be traveling to Pohnpei in July of this year to participate in the Rongamwahu and speak at the Ohwa Christian Academy. I understand that both Chester and Margery Terpstra taught at the Ohwa Mission School.
