Each new year brings its own challenges and chances to rejoice in God’s faithfulness.
A highlight of the year was July’s trip to COLORADO. We visited supporters at Majestic Baptist Church, took our first family camping trip, and rode the Royal Gorge train.
Ken continues to serve in grounds and maintenance at the BIBLE COLLEGE; he also helps with the student sports events in the evenings. He taught an elective last year, and will teach it again in 2013. Andrea continues to serve in childcare; this year she switched to the Preschool class.
Ministering through the LOCAL CHURCH is a privilege as well. Ken got to lead a single parent to the Lord last year; it is neat to see the church members rally around this family. Ken is on the deacon board and teaches often; and Andrea teaches each Sunday in Preschool.
Saturday odd jobs have been helping supplement our MISSIONARY SUPPORT. Although we still have some significant needs in this area, we have been encouraged by three new supporters and a new supporting church this year.
Our four CHILDREN are doing well. James (10) seems to be thriving in the older hallway at their charter school, and has chosen Karate as his sport. Christina (8 ½) and Sarah (6) enjoy Awana Bible club and Ballet. Samuel (2 ½) is almost potty trained; after 10 ½ years of diapers, we are planning to celebrate the end of that phase of parenting. 🙂
