Michael grew up in Georgia and Ohio, earning his BA (Sociology and Social Welfare) at Eastern University outside Philadelphia. After studying Mandarin in China from 1985-87, he moved to Columbia to start a Master’s Degree at Columbia International University. This pursuit was “interrupted” by work and marriage! He met Vivian and married in 1998; Vivian retired from the City of Columbia, where she worked for 28 years, mostly in City Hall, and had a “second career” in East Asia.
Michael finished his MA (Intercultural Studies and Teaching English as a Foreign Language) in 1999. The family then moved to East Asia. He taught at various universities until 2015. In 2015, he was asked to assume the post of General Executive Director for a charity based in Hong Kong. For family reasons, he and Vivian moved back to the US in the summer of 2019. Michael still works for the HK charity, as well as for other US-based charities on various levels—primarily International Friendship Ministries.
Michael and Vivian Krigline are cross-cultural ministers, touching lives from their base in South Carolina both locally and globally. They are active in ministry to international students, the larger international community in central SC, and also active as leaders for the HK charity. As John Wesley said, “the world is my parish,” and the Kriglines love how technology allows them to actively minister in Asia, South America and USA!
Donations of support can be mailed to GlobalGrace Fellowship; 1800 S Myrtle Ave, Monrovia, CA. 91016.

Camp Read-A-Lot 2021
Be Loved, Be Kind, Be You
Camp Read-A-Lot continues this Wednesday!
Kids are invited to participate in some fun summer activities designed to keep their reading skills sharp. Camp Read-A-Lot Kits will be available for pickup at the church and contain books (to read and keep) and literacy activities.
Camp Read-A-Lot's week 2 video with music, stories and literacy activities will be available July 14 beginning at 9:30am to view at your family's convenience! An in-person event for students and their families will be held on Wednesday, July 14, 6:30 - 8:00 pm. Click here to register.
Since we are doing Camp Read-A-Lot online this year, we have the potential to share God’s love and the importance of literacy to more people than ever before. Share the week 1 video with friends, family, grandchildren and neighbors. Because of copyright licensing for some resources in this year’s videos, they can not be posted to public websites and social media, but sharing the emails containing the link to the video is okay!
There are many ways to serve during Camp Read-A-Lot by assisting with the in-person event and other ways to support this summer’s community ministry. Contact Kathy Schmucker or Pam Wig for more information.

Faith & Environment Weekly Topic:
Climate Action Progress Report
The good news: Since the adoption of the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change in 2015, global momentum to tackle the climate crisis has been building. Progress has been made on almost every front, from bold corporate emissions-reduction targets and investors shifting away from coal to a surge of support for net-zero targets and a rising movement of youth activists from Uganda to India, culminating in Greta Thunberg being recognized as Time Magazine’s 2019 “Person of the Year.” Source Link
Climate Action Must Progress Far Faster to Achieve the Goal:
- Power: Increase renewables 6 times faster and phase out unabated coal 5 times faster than current rates by 2030.
- Building: Accelerate the renovation of existing buildings and construct new buildings at much higher efficiency standards.
- Industry: Significantly reduce emissions intensity of steel and cement by 2050.
- Transport: Adopt electric vehicles 12 times faster than current sales rate by 2030.
- Forests: Drastically slow deforestation and increase tree cover gain five times faster by 2030.
-
Agriculture: Accelerate productivity gains and shift consumption patterns to feed a growing population while preserving forests. Source Link
