New Semester Kicks Off

The spring semester at Washington Bible College and Capital Bible Seminary has begun. Jeff has welcomed 45 students to his three missions classes. Two meet at the seminary and one at a church near Annapolis. It's a joy to see the enrollment up the way it is.

We're thankful to see missionaries sending in their registrations to exhibit about their ministries and to lead workshops to inform the students about the wide range of ways there are to make God's love known  worldwide. 

It is Time to Send Missions Conference Invitations

Sue says: The poring over previous records has been done (see Jeff below). Committee meetings have been held. Recommendations have been evaluated. Introductory emails have been sent, and events have been scheduled.

This week is the time to send out invitations to missionaries who will set up displays and lead workshops in early March for the missions conference for our Bible college and seminary. Please pray there will be a positive response to the plans that have been laid and that this conference will lead to more workers going out to spread the good news of God's love for all people.  

Catching Up With Friends and Family

Sue says: During the break between Bible college semesters, it was refreshing to be in touch with some friends and family members. Above, the oldest great-grandson on this coast helped my dad select a sticker.

 More admiring of the newest grandchild helped us determine he looks like his mama.

There are always birthdays to celebrate...

and conversation flows around eating.

Projects for multiple generations are memorable. Isn't God good to set us in families and give us other significant friends.

On looking this post back over, I think I'd better get Jeff in action next time.

Hepi Niu Yia 2012!

As one of our PNG friends said recently, Happy New Year! May God's blessings rest on us all in 2012.

The next couple of weeks will be time to prepare for classes Jeff will teach and we both will take here at Washington Bible College and Capital Bible Seminary. Classes resume 17 January.

Last week-end, we took Metro into DC again to catch another sight: the African American Civil War Monument. It's right on U Street, so it's in the historic Shaw/Howard University section of the city. We'll have to go back again when the museum associated with the monument is open.
