Sixteen Years of Service

 

September 2026

“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Nigeria “They used to call me Chief Trouble.” For years, the motor park in Ibadan, Nigeria, was both his kingdom and his cage. He worked as a hawker, loading buses, shouting destinations, collecting fees, and starting fights just to prove he was to be feared. Each morning began at the liquor stall, and by midday his voice was hoarse from shouting and arguing. Chaos was his survival. Sometimes, TWR volunteers came with pamphlets about TWR Radio 1476 kHz. He mocked them loudly. “See these church people! Will radio save Nigeria?” He chased them away, thinking he was defending his territory. People like TWR engineer Larry McGuire, serving through SonSet Solutions, supplied the electrical equipment that powers this station. Through this partnership, thousands of SonSet® radios are reaching listeners. Click here to read the complete story of this changed life: Driven by Grace, Fueled by Hope - SonSet Solutions ​

Summer Interns

We had a great intern group this summer! Please pray for the Lord’s clear direction for their future. We would love for them to return to SonSet Solutions as full-time team members however our prayer is that God will guide each of them to the place where they can best serve Him and use their gifts for His glory. Jean had the blessing to mentor Maddie Mills while she was here. Studying electrical engineering at Grove City College, she has just begun her senior year.

Praises:​ For new ministry arm IT Solutions, and the impact we're already seeing worldwide! For 40 blessed years of marriage, and 16 in fruitful service with SonSet Solutions. For at least two campers we know of who were saved at Checkpoint Bible Camp. For a refreshing staff retreat. Prayer:​ For guidance as to what the Lord has for us in the coming years. For strength as there are ​extra duties we need to pick up on a temporary basis. For good engagement in coming mission conferences and college fairs. For fall ministries starting soon at our church in Elkhart. Much outreach is planned.​

Summer Interns are all Here

 

June 2026

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.” ​(James 1:5)

Kijani Farm

It has been a year since when we were able to join a team headed to Kijani Farm in Kenya. Our Media Team has recently put together a great video about this ministry (click on the photo to view it). W we are hoping to return to Kijani Farm to further assist with their technology and medical needs.

Clear Message, Open Hearts We are excited to see how our Solar Ministry Toolkits (SMT) have had an impact. Most recently we have heard how these units are so beneficial in Burkina Faso. In particular, it has allowed everyone attending a church service to be able to hear the preaching and singing which provides unity and great joy.

Summer Interns ​ We are so glad to have all of our summer interns! Here they are from left to right: Micah Miller, Caleb Yant, Noah Wills, Owen Ridings, Ian Schuster, Hazen Swenson, and Maddie Mills.

Praises:​ We are so excited to have all our summer interns serving with us! While we are not hosting interns in our home this year, we had the pleasure of having them over for a meal already. Praise that one of our former interns has raised her support and is now serving full time! Praise that a new staff member is at 100%! Please pray for her upcoming move and service on our IT Solutions team. Prayer Requests:​ Please pray for wisdom with plans to return to Kijani Farm. ​Jean is mentoring one of our summer interns, Maddie Mills. Please pray as we meet together throughout the summer and as we both grow in the Lord. Please pray for our seven summer interns, as they tackle real-world ministry challenges alongside our experienced team, that they will discern if God may be calling them to long-term missionary service.

Despite the Danger

 

May 2026

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” ​(Philippians 4:19)

SonSet®​ Radios

It is illegal to evangelize in some countries. Despite the danger, ministries are asking for help in establishing radio stations for the sake of the gospel. In one such community, the radio station we helped establish is going strong after 13½ years on the air. Our solar-powered SonSet radios are a lifeline where listeners in these remote areas can hear the broadcasts in the privacy of their own homes. Many from other religions are listening in, and believers in Jesus Christ are growing in their faith. ​ Read more here: Faith Despite the Danger - SonSet Solutions

2026 Trips We want to thank each one of you! We are so grateful to you all for your unwavering support of our missionary work. Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity have been a blessing to our team and the communities we serve. We are so thankful to be able to see so many of you on our two trips this year.

Praises:​ For two great trips in 2026 - including May - to see some of our dear faithful supporters, prayer team, and family. Prayer Requests:​ John: to balance ministry and his Moody Masters classes. Jean: energy for her work at SonSet Solutions and church.
