A Visit to Taiwan!

June brought with it the blessing of our first grandchild! Brandon & Brianna are serving in Taiwan with Word of Life and we were able to visit them in July and meet our little sweetheart. We are so grateful for the time we were able to spend together with all of our children under one roof!

Leadership Development Conference - Thriving Through Change

6 July was our Mid-Year Leadership Conference, a special time of fellowship and encouragement with the local church leaders in Durban with sessions taught by John Page and Brad & Mary Hawkins. Our theme was thriving through change. It is amazing that while the world is constantly changing, our God is never changing.

PLACE Training

It was great to get a week-long visit with Word of Life Regional Directors, John & Christy Page at the beginning of July! John spoke at our Leadership Conference and Christy spent some time teaching Brad & I to facilitate PLACE ministry training. Every PLACE course Is designed to help believers discover how God has created you and others to fulfill His purpose in relationships, career, and ministry by understanding your unique combination of personality, spiritual gifts, abilities, passions and experiences. This is another ministry tool added to our belt to help encourage and build up WOL Local Church Ministries throughout Africa and the Middle East. We are excited to see how God will allow this to be used for His glory!
