New Chapter

If our lives were a book, tomorrow would be a new chapter for us.
 
We've had some very interesting chapters: 10 years in Grenada - church planting, children's ministries, and Bible school.  By the time we left Grenada all six of our daughters were born and helping us in the Gospel ministry. 
 
Next were the Singapore chapters: helping with a new Bible college, being members and helpers at Emmanuel Baptist Fellowship, making tons of memories and friends, and the girls growing up into young ladies. 
 
Our India chapters began with both Hannah and Mary being off at Bob Jones University, and then like dominoes they all kept leaving until now we have an empty nest!  In India we had some great years at Bharat Bible College and then later "free-lancing" in the city of Hyderabad: teaching pastors, conducting women's meetings, helping in schools, and helping in new church plants.
 
Tomorrow's new chapter begins with our giving us our home in India and going to the states.  But I didn't say moving to the states, because technically we would not be living anywhere.  It is now time to think about our own parents.

We hope to make three or four trips overseas each year, to the same countries in which it has been our ongoing privilege to conduct the Gospel ministry (particularly India, Singapore, Philippines and Togo). We still want to make a difference overseas for the sake of the Gospel.

During our "in-between" times in the USA, we can give more assistance and comfort to our beloved, aging parents, as as to join in Gospel ministry opportunities which the Lord may open to us, including making periodic missionary reports and participating in missionary conferences.
  
We covet your prayers, emails, words of encouragement and your friendships.
