25 Our Missionary Friends - We've made some great friends over the past several years and we love you all! Some of you we wish we could get to know even better and wouldn't it be grand if we could all get together someday. Well, God being our helper, we will! I won't mention all of our Missionary friends but here's just a few. God bless The Kuhns's - Honduras; Geises (both) - South Africa, The Keeps/Blacks - Philippines, The Sankey's/Stetler's - Mexico, The Hoffman's - Dominican Republic, Sally Sebo- Romania (we worked with her for a year and she's a great Missionary) and The Dickinson's - Columbia, S. America.
Like I said, I've only mentioned a few for I didn't want to get into the rut of looking on a web sights to make sure I didn't miss someone. These are just a representative of many others who have answered the call, left the comforts of the United States and gone to spread the good news to the world.
There are many others along the way who've shared their experiences, helpful suggestions, and wisdom that has been invaluable to me. Missionaries are on the front lines of spiritual warfare. Many soldiers have faced death as a bullet has gone ripping by them. Some of those soldiers have sacrificed their lives for our country. Hopefully our missionary friends don't have to face those physical bullets, although some are in places where that is very possible, but each of them faces the "bullets" that are much more dangerous than any piece of lead. They face the dangerous enemy fire that kills more than the body, it's the soul he's after. We are in a war! Be strong and let Christ be your defense!

Good to hear your updates!! We are looking forward to Christmas!!
Thank you for these missionary insights to their/your reality. I'm guilty of "out of sight out of mind" but these blogs have kept the missionaries fresh on my mind. Thank you for reminding us how serious it is that we pray for them. I love thinking of your family and you all being "spoiled". You deserve it!
It would be great to all get together!
