Celebration

   One of the joys in serving on missionary ventures is meeting and establishing long lasting friendships with other Christians.  Elaine and I had the privilege of serving together with Walt and Millie Nadalson and Don and June Rediger.

   During our 2010 stay at Wycliffe Associates headquarters in Orlando, Florida we were taken by surprise.  At our Sunday evening service at the volunteer center chapel our friends surprised us with a 58th wedding anniversary celebration.  They called us up front and presented us with a beautiful anniversary cake and a money tree to help finance our upcoming mission trip to Cameroon, West Africa.  We were totally overwhelmed by their love and generosity.

    It's hard to find couples nowadays that have been married for 58 years.  It's been quite a ride and we've enjoyed every minute of it.

A Great Group of MK's.

During our KidZone children's ministry trip to Yaounde, Cameroon we had a great group of missionary kids for a week.  They were cooperative and enthusiastic bunch.  They willingly participated in the action songs, crafts, and Bible lessons.  It was a privilege and joy to work with them.

Missionary Kids

   During our recent mission trip adventure to Yaounde, Cameroon our KidZone team had the pleasure of working with thirty to forty missionary kids.

  Elaine and I along with one helper had sixteen three, four, and five year olds who were full of energy and excitement.  Pearl handled the first through third graders and Char had the fourth through sixth graders.  We used a VBS program called "Son Surf Beach Bash" from Gospel Light along with crafts, games, and outside activities.  It was a great program and we all had a lot of fun.
