Thank You for Your Support!


What a blessing it has been to travel with the Van Gelderen’s this school year! I have thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it! The last few weeks were quite busy as we were trying to finish the school year a bit early. The girls did a wonderful job and finished everything by the end of April!! It took a great deal of effort...making for no free time!

We all made a bunch of memories that will not soon be forgotten. I have included some last pictures here and might post some more later.

Thank you to all of you who have supported me in one way or another! The Lord really did provide for all of my needs through the money sent and the Lord truly worked through the many prayers that were said! More than 150 souls were saved this year and many, many more decisions were made to get rid of bitterness, disrespect, and hidden sin! Praise the Lord that He can change hearts and what a humbling privilege to have been used to help some of these teens! God is so great and I am thankful that you were a part of the blessing!

Everyone is back at home now - even the Van Gelderen’s are able to enjoy their house in Wisconsin for the summer. 

As for the future...I will not be traveling with the Van Gelderen’s. Instead, the Lord has led me to teach at a Christian school in Wisconsin. Stephanie Van Gelderen, the oldest daughter, has now finished high school and will be attending college at this same location in Wisconsin!! Janna and Annaleese will go back on the road to continue with Dr. Jim and Mrs. Van. It will be a difficult day for their family to say “good-bye” to their daughter,...but they have asked that I stay with Stephanie for her freshman year of college!! So, I will be living at the Van Gelderen’s house with Stephanie this next school year while I am teaching at the Christian school there!

I am thankful for the unique opportunity I have had to be even a small part of the Minutemen Ministires. To God be the glory! Great things He has done!
