Christmas & Kids

Ok, so I know they're not actually "kids" anymore, but since most of you have followed us forever, here's a quick update on them...
Mikayla completed her 2 yr term here in the Philippines and was part of the team that started a new after-care home for girls rescued out of trafficking. She's now back in the States, switching to a different organization in order to expand her role when she comes back to include training for the staff not only in that home but also other homes around the country. She also enjoyed coaching some girls rugby at her alma mater here.

Zach graduated college in May and is working as youth pastor at our home church in Missouri. He is also in the application process to head overseas for a 2 yr term surveying unengaged, unreached people groups.

Ben is still in college in Mississippi and super involved in his church there, besides working at going to classes. He brought a friend home to my parents over Christmas; we haven't been able to meet her in person yet, but are very much looking forward to working with her this summer as she has tickets to come join us for a summer internship on our tribal team.

Super proud of all 3 and loving watching how God is guiding them into next steps.

For Christmas this year, we traveled up to the mountain city of Baguio with some friends, and Mikayla was able to join us. We had a blast in the chilly weather together. Missed the boys but thankful they are where God has them for now.
