25 Years of Marriage Blessed By Our Lord Jesus
25 years ago today Deborah and I were married. (23rd of May). She was a stunning woman then and still is today!
Deborah was already a deaconess when we became engaged, and that calling from God has stayed in her mind and heart all these years. Some years she has not had a formal call as a deaconess and other years she has.
In these past months she has been hard at work as a deaconess: training deaconess students at LTS, meeting with women from Lutheran churches in South Africa, assisting the Church Council of the Lutheran Church in Southern Africa and the Board of Directors of LTS, all the while being a mother and wife. The Lord is good to us!
Deborah will be in the U.S. June 15 – July 18 to continue fund-raising for our missionary budget in South Africa. We will soon post a schedule.
