Just the Facts
Anne, Laura, Christine, and Ken are in the final preparation stages of Laura's May 20th wedding. We're working diligently on the house, getting it ready for the guests. Anyone that has been through this knows that a myriad of last-minute wedding preparation details remain. But, we're excited to watch them work through the details in preparation for their new life together.
Anne continues to work as an Assistant Manager in Harris Teeter's fresh foods department. It is a challenging role but she is good at what she does and the company likes her work.
Christine remains a studious college student at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. I think she misses her dad a lot when she's at college.
Ken is driving to Medina, OH on Saturday, April 22nd to speak at both services at Medina Presbyterian Church on Sunday, April 23rd. It is exciting to return to a church that has been supporting us for years and share what God is doing through the world of Bible translation. Please pray for Ken as he gives the messages on Sunday. He's not a pastor and doesn't consider this his gifting so giving a message always leaves him mentally and physically exhausted at the end of the service.
Sunday evening, Ken will have the opportunity to stay with Larry Gradisher, the IT volunteer that went with Ken to Kingston, Jamaica for the network installation. Ken is excited to be able to touch bases with Larry and Steve Bradley again. Larry is taking Ken to his place of employment so Ken can take a look at their network data center. JAARS has a new data center project in the works and this will give Ken an opportunity to see what others are doing in this area.
Ken is participating in First Baptist Church of Pontiac's mission conference from Saturday, April 29 to Wednesday, April 26. He's excited about sharing with FBC too, what God is doing throughout the world of Bible translation. Ken will be driving the 13 hours home on Thursday, May 4th.

JAARS offers several free publications that provide some of the many challenges faced by Bible translators worldwide. Rev7 offers timely stories about Bible translation around the world, the latest issue dealing with the complex transportation challenges faced by Bible translators. It is an eye-opener indeed. Partner Express is another JAARS publication that informs the body of Christ about the many projects, praise reports, and giving opportunities. And the Prayerline shares a bimonthly list of prayer requests, one per day.

Don't know about you, but we're looking for vacation. Any ideas?
