Kurt and I celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary today.
We are going on a three day get away to a retreat center for couples and families in ministry. It will be good to have uninterrupted time to talk, renew, and draw closer to each other again.
Kurt is a wonderful husband and I am thankful to be married to him.
1 Peter 3: 8Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. July 5, 2009
Kirsten snapped this photo as we drove home from church last night.
I really like the peacefulness and beauty of this photo.

Mikayla is at Camp Michawana this week with two friends from our sending church. Lydia, Mikayla, and Hannah have been friends since the girls were about 4 or 5 years old.
Pray for the girls, camp counselors, and all the campers to draw closer to Christ, and have a safe, fun time in their various activities this week.
(Hannah wasn't at the camp yet when we checked in the girls so she is not pictured below at the check-in activities.)

We've had many people ask us what kind of school our kids go to.
We are so thankful for Faith Academy, its leadership and teachers.
"Since its founding in 1982, the goal of Faith's campus on Mindanao has been to provide a quality education for the children of missionaries. Faith Academy Inc. on Mindanao serves over 25 different mission agencies, as well as the business community. Approximately 130 students in grades K-12 represent more than 10 countries. Smaller classes allow for more personal interaction between teachers, students, and families.
Faith Academy, Mindanao, like its Manila counterpart, seeks to provide students with a quality, well-balanced, Christ-centered academic education....Faith Academy, Mindanao also has enrolled a limited number of international students."
Check out their website...and for any teachers, retired or active, consider coming over to provide quality Christian education to the MKs!!!! http://www.faith.edu.ph/mindanao/
