MINISTRY:

Ah, the thrill and trepidation of starting something new! With the Lord’s

unmistakable guidance and the full support of my mission and churches, I’m

moving to the US to expand my ministry’s scope and broaden its impact.

The sadness of leaving BFA is overwhelming at times, but I know I’ve been

strategically equipped to:

• Educate North American churches/missions about the needs of TCK

• Help TCKs to find multi-cultural wholeness

• Prepare missionary families for cross-cultural living and transition

• Develop new materials to aid in all these areas

As invitations to speak and consult at various conferences come in (one from a

globally recognized organization) and as I field requests to publish my series on“The Lies MKs Believe,” I am encouraged and inspired to press on!

As so many of you have pointed out, this is the logical next step in a lifetime

dedicated to MKs. It’s pioneering work and I know it won’t be easy, but I am so

very convinced of its importance! So... I’ll be heading to Germany in June to

pack up my things and say difficult goodbyes to my life overseas and to the

school and students that have been my joy and my passion for so many years.

HEALTH:

In February, elevated cancer markers led to an ultrasound, then an MRI, then a

biopsy. Three possibly malignant uterine masses were found and, given my

cancer history, I’m opting for aggressive treatment. I will be having fairly major

surgery in April, followed by several weeks of recovery. Click the adjacent

link for personal reflections on this difficult news, posted just 3 days ago...
