California Hosts, Lori and Gloria Following several weeks of preparation Dr. Allen flew to the capitol of the state of California where he was met by one of his co-hosts and driven to the city of Escalon about 95 miles south east of the Capitol. He was a house guest and worked on following up leads which had come in from newspaper ad responses, which were aimed at finding a person who could in fact help the ministry grow in that market in a variety of tools being used. Those include the setting up of thrift stores, food banks and counseling centers and eventually church spiritual centers.

In addition to interviewing several candidates, the market was surveyed where upon the conclusion was made that the ministry would do very well and that there was indeed an underserved market for our ministries mission.

California Coast Returning up the coast there were indeed spectacular views and an un-equaled set of sunset views.

Dr. Allen attended the international Hershey Chocolate festival in Oakdale Calif. In recreational terms it was indeed an highlight.

Also in Oakdale, where there is a rich Dutch ethnic heritage, he visited the Oakdale cheese factory, which only produces the world class "Goda" type cheese. There is a park associated with it and a petting pen for children.

Hearst Castle
The Hearst Castle

Hearst Castle A day was taken to travel on the coastline and visit the Hearst Castle in San-Simian Calif.
It was a great day for the visit to this landmark building, symbolizing one man's vision and industry to express what he felt, inspired beauty and functionality combined in one vision.
