March News
Dear Friends & Family,Here is a quick update on what we are up to:
On December 6 we loaded up our Volvo and drove up to Wheaton, IL from Dallas. Rob worked nights valet parking in downtown Chicago through the holidays and started school in early January. We have now found a place in Wheaton,
just 1 mile away from campus and are settling in. Rob has started a 3-semester Master's Program in Intercultural Studies at Wheaton and is really enjoying it so far. He has been awarded the Billy Graham Center Scholarship, which is a full tuition grant that is forgiven 25% per year spent back on the mission field. The classes and interaction with other missionaries have been incredible so far.PRAYER REQUESTS:
--Support. Since returning home last summer our support has steadily dropped. Rob has been on been on several mission trips (and has more planned this summer) and has had to dig into our savings to do so. We are now down to about 40% of our full support level. Keep in mind why we have come home: to have this baby and for Rob to complete more missionary training at Wheaton in the meantime. With Janet unable to work, living expenses being significantly more than in Croatia, and Rob in school full time this is becoming a concern. Rob has picked up part time work on the weekends working nights valet parking downtown to make up for this loss. Please remember this in your prayers. Perhaps you have decided to withdraw your support until we again leave the US, please consider that we are home for health reasons and also to train more for future service and still need committed support.
--Direction.We will finish Wheaton one year from now. Please pray that God would guide us in our next steps as to where we go and with whom we will work. We have several ideas but will save that for later updates.
--And most of all, please pray for....
BABY MEZGER IS COMING!
By the time you get this letter Janet will be just a couple weeks away from delivery. Many of you know that we have had complications in the past (the main reason we are now in the States) so please pray that this delivery goes smoothly. Thanks!
