1998 photo

Kim Cone sent me this photo, thought I'd post it. Those of you from Waterloo will recognize Anna Danforth, who I don't even remember meeting back then, along with the three Cone kids, Jordan, Kimia, and Collin.

Rabbits!

Thought I'd post a picture of Indiana in the winter - which although it's beautiful, I'm probably not going to miss too much (today it's -2F). The picture is from when Jordan Cone and I went out rabbit hunting - actually, our wives went with us too, but they just went for a walk and carried the rabbits:)

I took another picture, and made this picture smaller, so that maybe people who dislike hunting won't be upset with me, and will realize that I appreciate the beautiful snow more than shooting fluffy rabbits (...or something like that). Oh, and Nate Zuck, notice I'm wearing my orange hat, and I'm even hunting while wearing it!

Support Update

Just wanted to give people a quick update.

We had a great trip to Iowa - visited friends in Iowa City & Des Moines, and visited the Waterloo GBC - who of course are ALSO our friends :) The Waterloo church is going to be supporting us! We're very excited about it. They are also preparing to send a team with GBIM to Cameroon this summer - it's not that big of a church, but they're sending 14 people (I think that's right)- which includes two young families. I think that's pretty cool. It's neat to be connected with churches who are so enthusiastic about being an active part of the Great Commission.

We're currently at 88% of our support (as you can see from the sidebar graph) - and so we're planning on an April departure (probably around the 28th-30th). Please continue to pray for us - besides the usual loose ends to tie up before we leave, we've still got the remaining 12% of our support. We'll be making a trip out to the west coast in March - visit Debbie's family, as well as the Goldendale WA church, and two other churches.

I'm keeping busy right now with web design work - keep an eye out for a brand new GBIM website which we should be rolling out towards the end of Feb.

Debbie's ALMOST finished with the mural in the GBIM lobby - I'll have pics/video of it on here when she's finished.

picture of Maribeth

Maribeth Taylor is going to be working with us at the Château when we return, and is in the process of raising support, getting a passport, etc. Just thought I'd put a picture up here, to help you better pray for her.

old france pics

i'd almost forgotten about posting old missionary photos from the archives - here's a nice one of the Juliens from a few years ago!
