Johanna Visits MK Adopting Church

Riverwood Alliance Church north of Detroit adopted Johanna as their Missionary Kid in the last few years. It was great to finally get to return the visit, speak and join in their worship service. The picture on the screen behind shows delivery of a care package fall of freshman year. 
Her roommate Lindsay spent spring break with us in Ohio, so came along on this church visit, and gave Johanna a ride back to Calvin University for the final stretch of freshman year!

Josiah and Clara on Honor Roll at CVCA!

We are grateful God is guiding and providing our kids with excellent Christian education in the USA. 

Looks like our college girls' good study habit and grades is being followed by Clara and Josiah.  They were both named to their Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy Honor Roll for first semester!  

Clara's schedule includes an advanced placement course in 10th grade.  Josiah reached the High Honor Roll for middle school as a 6th grader, his first year at this new school.  

We're so grateful they can attend excellent school and achieve a high level of learning this year.  Praise the Lord, where he guides, He provides.

Clara Playing High School Basketball in 10th Grade

 I walked into her game in this gym, and everyone was congratulating and high-fiving her! 

 I found out later she had just made her first 3-pointer!
