As many of you know, we have a house full of family, staff and summer interns right now. Tonight, there were 15 people here which included the Africa team. What a joy! It's such a privilege to work with them when we are preparing a meal.....
JT is the leader of the crew and he is truly a visionary. Of course, I'm married to him so I'm sure I'm a little biased. He is a man of God leading people around the world to impoverished, forgotten and desperate people groups.
Karen is our "distant" staff member who lives in Kentucky. We have known Karen for over 4 years, and she is truly one of my best friends. If you've ever seen "Anne of Green Gables," she is a kindred spirit. Karen does a great job as the liason between One Way Ministries and group leaders. We couldn't do ministry without her. Now, if she only lived closer......
Morgan is Karen's daughter, and despite the fact that she's an Auburn fan, we love her immensely. She is like another child to us, and we adore her. She is an energetic, passionate, and extremely loving young woman. I can't wait to see what God does in her life as she continues to grow in Him. Now, if SHE only lived closer too....
Heather is our administrative assistant, and she has lived with us for over a year now. She will be getting married this August to Michael Whitmire in Indiana. She has been a valuable addition to our staff and has taken quite a load off of me administratively for the past year.
Autumn Busby is from Grace Baptist Church in Oxford, and we have known her for years. She has gone to Arizona more than anyone else here with the exception of our family. She LOVES kids and they are naturally attracted to her. She has great patience and builds relationships that lasts for a lifetime.
Holly Busby is Autumn's younger sister who attends the University of Montevallo. Like Morgie, she is like another daughter to us. During the school year, she comes and eats with our family every week. She is very caring and loving. Holly has a gift for music and uses it to glorify God.
Michael DiGiacoma (pronounced Dee-gee-co-muh) is our resident Yankee who likes to make fun of our Southern accents. We love him anyway. Michael is an intelligent young man with a passion for the truth of God's Word. He has had us all in tears as well as laughter for the last 2 days.
Brittney Cleveland is our youngest intern but has a great maturity. She is also an awesome Wii bowler (just so you know). Brittney is very patient and has a heart for children. We trust her with our children, and we love her dearly.
We will be updating the blog as often as possible so that everyone will know what's going on with us all. Thank you all for your prayers!
