Hello and Merry Christmas to you all from Dallas,
Texas!
I just wanted to let you know what one of our
supported WA Staff in Dallas has been up to. John, Gwen and their 7 children moved to
Dallas just over two years ago...and have added one more to their clan since
moving, making it 8 cute kiddies!
John is the Associate Center Director of Facilities Maintenance at the
ILC, and Gwen homeschools the kids, and is also a writer. She writes homeschool articles for a blog and
also has a family blog that she updates, among other things.
When they arrived in Dallas, she started
interviewing the missionaries that have served around the world that have "retired" in Dallas, specifically those living in the
Cowan Apts (Wycliffe "retirement" apts). She has written a book of
their missionary stories. There are 21
short stories (chapters), and it is family
friendly. The book is called Seed
Sowers: Gospel Planting Adventures.
Seed Sowers is available for purchase on
amazon.com for $12.55. Right now the
Kindle version is $3.99. Below is the
link to both the book and the Kindle version if you are interested in getting
for yourself or as a Christmas gift.
Sorry I didn't get this sent out sooner!
If you are in the Dallas area, you can also get them from John or Gwen
and will save a couple of bucks. I am
getting copies for my nephews and a few other family members as Christmas
presents. What a great way for people,
especially children, to learn about missions work around the world!!
If you would like to know more about their
beautiful "little" family, I have attached the web address to their
blog: www.toliverstotexas.com/.
If you would like to know more about the book,
Gwen has a website with more details, and it is http://seedsowersthebook.com/
So now that I have pumped you full of ALL kinds of
information, I will let you go. :~)
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and I look
forward to seeing some of you after the new year!
