Hello to our FRIENDS...
FRIENDS are those who care ABOUT you. They also care FOR you.
As we are travelling in our annual itineration, we meet friends, both new and old. Old friends are a part of our extended "family." We usually share a common history and view of how "life is" or how "life should be." Life has brought changes to us all. It is interesting to observe those whose views have changed, and why they have changed.
As we age, the things that are MOST important begin to change as well. Getting closer to eternity, makes us realize how many seemingly important things are just temporal. "What will it matter in 100 years?" If we ourselves are getting closer to that age, we have a different perspective of what is of true value.
Love, God, family, relationships are the stuff of eternity.
Some new friends bring us fresh insights. Mere "youngsters" are experts in navigating today's technology. Toffler, in his book "Future Shock" written some years ago, seems to be forecasting today's world. A world in which the youth are the experts.
But the efemeral nature of technology makes us, once again, reach back for those things that are eternal.
Friends; they love us and they care for us. And we are all on the journey to life everlasting.
Have fun on the journey.

Our Dear Friends and Supporters:
We're home!
(one of our homes). We just
landed in Vancouver to visit churches and raise support plus finance our church building. We plan to visit the Okanagan and the
Kootneys this time, plus the Coast. It will be wonderful to see some of you in
our travels.
It's so great
to see our families again. How
exciting it is to see them all at the
airport waiting for us. And then, come running, screaming with joy for hugs and
kisses. We cause quite a commotion at
the airport.
March was a busy month for us with visitors from
Pennsylvania. Three sets of them came to
evaluate our work and see how they can help us.
We trust they will send work teams to finish our building.
Our Bible school graduation was exciting with many
completing their Saturday Bible school.
They get the same training as the day school, but have to work harder
for it. Pastor Kenny is one of our
graduates. We have several lawyers, a
medical doctor and other professional people coming to study God's word. Some began churches in their homes, but have
never had Bible school training. Others
are married couples, for which the Bible School has no quarters. Our numbers
are climbing to over 50. We have an
excellent Director now and qualified teachers.
Joseph really enjoys teaching his classes.
The Sunday school is doing well. Since all our
people are new Christians, we didn't have any prepared teachers in our
congregation. So we're borrowing young
people from another church to come and teach the children. They come for Sunday school and then rush to
their own church for their service. We
really appreciate their sacrifice.
Our area director visited us and all the missionaries got together for a meal. A rare occasion
Much Love,
Joseph and Ellen
