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.
