    On the Road . . . Again!Hans Christian Anderson once said "To travel is to live" and if that is true we are about to do

    some serious living in the next several weeks! We are excited that these travels will be takingus up to Connecticut where we will be able to spend some time with Alex's family and even up

    to Maine to see his Grandmother! We will be speaking at 6 different Churches over the next 6weeks as we travel there and back again.

    The month of March was filled with preparations for our upcoming move. We continued

    homeschooling the boys, caught up with some very special friends as we were passing through

    the Columbia, SC area, and had the opportunity to speak at a mission conference in Newberry,SC!

    We also had the honor of being a part of the Grand

    Opening for Tots-N-More Consignment store inHenderson, NC. Our very dear friends Aaron and Joyce

    Doughty have opened this store not only as a familybusiness but as a ministry to the city and even the worldit is in! Ten percent of their profits go to support our

    mission work along with several other ministries! It was

    a delight to get to help with this special day and we loveany excuse to get home to Henderson!

    Student Highlight: JohnJohn is a current Burmese student from Myanmar(Burma),

    a primarily Buddhist country that has experienced serious social, political, and economic

    difficulties this past century. Because of the economic and political situation it is very hard forstudents from Myanmar to get

    advanced education outside thecountry but due to Tyndale's

    scholarship program (supported by

    Christian individuals and churches)he, along with many of the other

    residential students at Tyndale, are

    able to further their studies.

    Before coming to Tyndale John

    taught at an underground Bibleschool in Myanmar for two years.

    John will return to Myanmar at theend of his studies to train native

    Burmese evangelists to plant

    churches in Buddhist villages and tocontinue work on a Bible translation

    in his native language based upon the

    Hebrew and Greek.

    John is a good example of the strategic importance of Tyndale. It would take decades of language and cultural

    learning for an American missionary to be prepared for the kind of leadership development that John will be a

    part of when he returns to Myanmar. It just makes sense to train leaders from around the world who arecommitted to return to their country to continue training national leaders for Christ and His kingdom. Through

    your prayer and/or financial support of our ministry at Tyndale you are indirectly yet concretely impacting

    Burma for the Gospel.

    If you want your influence for Gods kingdom to touch the nations through leadership development at Tyndale

    please join us in prayer and check out our blog for more specific information on how to become a financialpartner(http://stewartfamilychronicles .blogspot.com/p/donate.html).

    Our Approaching International MoveWe have not yet bought plane tickets so the date may move some but at this point it looks like we will be movingto the Netherlands on June 19

    th! The summer classes there begin July 1

    st. These last two months are likely going

    to fly by but we want to try to connect with as many friends as we can before moving. If you live anywhere on the

    road between Columbia, SC and Greenville, ME we will likely be in your area, at least briefly, between now andthe summer and would love to meet and get caught up in person before we move across the pond!

    Praising God:1. For the privilege of having this opportunity to serve Him at Tyndale.2. For continuing to sustain us through a winter and spring full of sickness.3. For wonderful time and memories made with family and friends!4. For His simple, powerful, transformative, daily presence.

    Please Pray:1. That God would continue to bring in the needed monthly supporters to

    sustain our involvement in this ministry.2. That God would smooth out all the details involved with an international move: shipping choices,

    flight plans, residency applications, and work permits. We do not anticipate any problems with these

    items but it is foreign territory for us in more ways than one .

    3. That God would use us to communicate clearly and powerfully to His people as we visit and speak atchurches over the next two months.

    4. That God would give comfort as we prepare to say see you soon to friends, cousins, aunts, uncles,grandparents and familiar places and things.

    Seeking to Glorify Him, Alex and Jenny Stewart

    The boys at Tots-N-More!
