. . . and Luke\u2019s graduation and open house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke\u2019s graduation was a time of celebrating Luke\u2019s hard work (and Ginger\u2019s hard work too) and giving glory to the Lord for what He has done in Luke\u2019s life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

God\u2019s people, you, have been such an encouragement to Luke and to us.  At Luke\u2019s open house, members of 15 different churches across Michigan came to congratulate him.  Their gifts helped Luke purchase a guitar and a vehicle.  Praise the Lord for His people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is next for Luke?  He will be moving to Wisconsin in August to begin studies at Ethnos360 Bible Institute.  Luke doesn\u2019t know what the future holds for him, but he desires to serve the Lord and study His Word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next big news is that Luke is not the only one going to Ethnos360 Bible Institute this fall.  Our daughter Abigail has also decided to go to Ethnos360 Bible Institute.  This is another step of faith for Abigail because she was not able to save as much money as she had hoped toward her tuition through working this past year.  We are so proud of both of them as they reach for Jesus<\/em> and increase their knowledge of Him.<\/p>\n\n\n

We are proud of all our kids.\u00a0 Rebekah continues her studies, found an internship this summer, and hopes to graduate next year from Grace Christian University with a business degree.\u00a0 And Jonathan enjoys renewing his friendships and serving the Lord through his bass guitar in churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thank you for not just pouring into our lives, but also into the lives of our kids.  We appreciate your prayers and encouragement as our kids reach for Jesus<\/em>.  Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
