April 2020 Psalm 46:8-10 Be Still and KNOW... How many of us are finding it hard to BE STILL?  I know that for me, it has been very hard to go from running....to walking....to strolling....to sitting! I have found myself trying to busy my day with needless things still.  I look around and see that there are many small things to occupy my hands and mind, and then I realize... God is wanting me to look around and see HIM in all things. As a missionary for 20 yrs now, I have come to notice that I am focused on DOING, not sitting.  Now that our campus at Ethnos360 Bible Institute is closed, and we are doing online classes my role there has gone from doing, to NOTHING.  Without students to walk the halls, the library is not needed right now.  We are still waiting for "isolation" to come to an end to start the move of our Jackson Campus to Waukesha.  Once things can start moving over, and books can come this way, I wait.... Andy still is engaged with On-Line classes and school accreditation and visits the campus often to check on things.  He is now able to spend sometime with our oldest son Nate painting and has enjoyed being able to do that.  He also enjoys coming home and spending time in the yard that the Lord has provided for us.  Our Boys:  Nate is still painting and is an incredible dad to Alice.  It has been a joy to see our son be a Dad. Josh is mostly unemployed, working in the food industry and has few hours to work. Luke is now full time with the Army National Guard, locally so he can still come home everynight. I am sure that many of your lives and the lives of your family have changed as well in light of all the recent events.  May God keep you and Bless you in His loving arms.   Thank you for your friendship over the years, for your prayers for our family and for partnering with us in ministry.  You are an encouragement and a blessing to us.   Keep up with us at the following places!

Consolidation & Family

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

February 2020 Consolidation 1. The action or process of making something stronger or more solid. 2. The action or process of combining a number of things into a single more effective or coherent whole. Family 1.  A group of people, usually of the same blood (but do not have to be), who genuinely love, trust, care about, and look out for each other. Real Family is a Bond that cannot be broken by any means. Consolidation & Family What does this all mean? Consolidation & Family have a very similar definition.  Both of them require work and a dedication to see things through, no matter how hard.  I like the way that the urban dictionary defines family: REAL FAMILY IS A BOND THAT CANNOT BE BROKEN BY ANY MEANS. This also is a beautiful picture of our Heavenly Father as He calls us his children.  We are a part of an eternal family that will never be broken.  He promises to never leave us nor forsake us.  What an amazing thought! As we look to the upcoming changes that are headed our way, we continue to keep our fellow co-workers in prayer as they will be uprooting and making a major move to our Waukesha campus.  We will also be at about 275 for our student enrollment.  This includes singles and marrieds.  Many apartments and dorms are getting remodeled in preparation for the incoming students. Our prayer is that as our two campuses join together we can consolidate into a closely knit family. Please keep all these things in your prayers as the Lord brings us to mind. For sometime now we have been working on our new home.  We should be moved in soon.  We have been blessed beyond measure with this home.  A big THANKS goes out to all who have helped along the way. 1240 Salter Dr. Waukesha, Wi 53186 Thank you for your friendship over the years, for your prayers for our family and for partnering with us in ministry.  You are an encouragement and a blessing to us.   Keep up with us at the following places!
