Elizabeth had the privilege of participating in the "May with Asia" program with Wheaton College, this past May-June. It was a blessing for her to see such sights as the Great Wall while learning about part of her culture!
She stayed mostly in Beijing with a side trip to Xi’an. She met local students in both cities who wanted to practice their English. Please be praying for those they tried to witness to!
A similar trip was led by the same professor back in Jean's days and Jean got to go on the "Wheaton in East Asia" trip in 1980!
John and Jean are suffering a bit of empty-nesting with Elizabeth approaching her senior year of college, Johnny taking his college exams, and David learning how to drive. Good thing Anina is still small…for now.
During this time of our deputation we have had questions arise. Here are the answers:
- The money we are collecting now is going into our account at HCJB Global to meet our one-time outgoing costs. When we reach that amount, then the extra will be converted to a pledge. So the monies that have been sent in are very valuable to us.
- If you prefer to begin your pledges when we depart for the field, please note this on the pledge form.
- We feel God is leading us to Quito, Ecuador where God can use John’s computer skills and Jean’s nursing skills. A possibility exists that we may go to Colorado Springs, where HCJB Global also has a great need for John’s computer skills.
- John is still working full-time.
We appreciate all of you on our support team, and your faithful giving and prayers. Thank you so much! We are entering a phase where we really could use some new contacts! There are many ways we could use your help!
