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.

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.
