School of Missions

Exhausted exhilaration is my best description for concluding my first School of Mission as the ISM director. It was so great to have extended interaction with our candidates who are joining the International Service Ministries team. We also had candidates and veterans together for two and a half days of regional studies. The spirit of the school of missions was beautiful and I came away feeling elated about being part of this great missionary family.

My dear friend and colleage for many years, Peggy Johnson, received her appreciation clock for 37 years of service. What a great model and mentor she has been for me all of these years. She continues her work with HealthCare Ministries.

My next overseas work will be in Zambia in September. I will be teaching the second module of HIV/AIDS training in the Bible school there. I'll appreciate your prayers. Just prior to that I'll attend the Cutting Edge conference on Children at Risk.
