Grandbaby#2 on the Way!

Micah is a big brother as his little sib, our second grandchild is due this September!


What are we doing here in Elkhart?

John’s roles
Technical: John serves in I.T. as a Senior Developer, developing software for the SonSet® radio and critical software needed for mission operations, which now includes donation management. Outside the mission, John works part-time as a Senior Developer for FiServ.

Spiritual: John serves as mission chaplain, with roles on the Theological and Spiritual Enrichment Committees.

Outside the mission, John serves at McCoy Memorial Baptist Church in an elder role, and a teacher of a Bible study for college-age young people.

John’s mindset: to be a flexible servant, faithful and fruitful, who finishes strong like Moses (120 years would be nice!)

Jean’s roles
Technical: Jean primarily works in IT on the website. Along with updates and small changes needed, she gets her creative juices going with editing photos. Work on the donation management team involves processing the donations that have come in and receipting them. 

Other: Jean also volunteers on the SonSet committee for our Global Impact Celebrations (next one is August 6, 2016).

Outside of SonSet Solutions, Jean volunteers at Lifeline, a ministry to the youth of the “inner city” of Elkhart, and is active at McCoy in Word of Life, VBS, Pathfinders (college and career), RUSH (senior high youth), and occasional music ministry.  She hopes to continue with these after Anina starts nursing school.

Together
We continue to host interns, volunteers, etc. This summer we will host our own son, David, as David is one of our summer interns!  Plus, we still host David Palmer, who is a mechanical engineer - who was a summer intern, then apprentice, and now appointee.
