We are an organization of Americans and Chinese who serve students, scholars and their families from China at the University of Minnesota. We are not a church but a Christian group that works with local churches in sharing Christian love. We welcome everyone from China to participate whether they have religious beliefs or not.
我们是一个由美国人和中国人组成的，为明大中国学生学者和家人服务的組織。我们不是一所教会，而是一个与当地教会联手传播基督之爱的基督徒組織。我们欢迎来自中国的，无论是否有宗教信仰的任何人参加。

Bob & Joanne Kraftson took an early retirement to join COM several years ago. They read extensively and think deeply about a range of issues. Their backgrounds in education and IT, as well as their thirst for learning has served them well as they seek to help Chinese scholars and students with their questions about God, the Bible, and life in MN. They have 3 children and several grandchildren. They LOVE Minnesota outdoors in all seasons.
