Tomorrow morning my parents-in-law are flying to Richmond for seven weeks of IMB training. From there they will be flying to the Ukraine for a three-year mission, bringing the Gospel to the unreached Tartar people.

They are a wonderful couple, and we are going to miss them terribly. Please pray for them, for God’s blessing on their mission and for his power in their work. Pray also for my wife Jill and our four kids, who are going to really miss “mama and papa”.

And I’ll miss them too. They let me marry their only daughter and have been a wonderful source of encouragement, mentoring, and support to Jill and I for many years.

May God work through this wonderful couple in the Ukraine!
