This is who we are....

Andy is an MK from Brasil. Gina is a hometown girl from SE Wisconsin. We met in Waukesha, fell in LOVE...well, that is the beginning of a long story, that won't fit into this spot. Since that day, we have been living and moving, and living, and moving, and yes moving some more! We have served 6 yrs in Brasil, and 4 yrs in Thailand. In both countries our main focus has been on the education and discipleship of high school students. Now we are working with college students. Our desire is to help them know the Lord better. We are serving at Ethnos Bible Institute in Waukesha, WI. Andy is the Dean of Education, and Gina is overseeing the campus library. We are privileged to be discipling the next generation of Christian leaders who will serve the Lord in foreign countries and in their local communities.

Consolidation & Family

*|MC:SUBJECT|*
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.

UPDATE:
Gina finally saved up enough money to buy a car!  But, she still enjoys crafting, so she will continue to create!
Click on the picture if you are interested in placing an order.  She also does many other crafts and paper flower arrangements.  Books are made to order, or choose from several designs already done.

 
Our Family has a painting business!
Two of our boys, Nate and Luke work painting year round.  We also are able to hire several students from the Bible School to work as well.
We finally have a facebook page set up, simply click on the picture to see the work that we are doing.
