Many Changes for Me. - Posted: October 23, 2009
by Elizabeth (Callahan) Leeds - 2003
After spending a year teaching in Thailand, I felt that it was time for me to come back home. I didn't really know what I would be doing next, or where God was leading me, but I knew it was the right decision to return. I have been living in Northern Virginia, working as an Administrative Assistant for the Children's Ministry of a large church in the area. My parents were living a few hours away from where I was, but it was close enough that I was able to go down and visit on weekends. These were precious times. In April of 2009 my father (whom many of you have prayed for over the years) passed away. It was difficult for our family, but I now see part of why I was being led back to the states. But not all has been sadness in my life. While I was overseas, I began corresponding with Dave Leeds, an old acquaintance of mine. Then when I came home we began spending lots of time together, and soon we were very much in love. In October of 2009 we got married. :-) Changes and Searching!? - Posted: October 5, 2009 by Wesley and Suzanne Yerkes - 1986 Dear WOLBI family, I would greatly appreciate your prayers as I am seeking the Lord's will and direction in a new ministry. We served with Missions to Military, Inc. for almost 13 years as a missionary to the US Military, but in 2006 we felt that we could no longer serve under that mission board and resigned. I am currently employed as the Property Administrator of the Salvation Army in Roanoke, VA, but we are desiring to know where God would have us serve in ministry the rest of our time on this earth. I hope to be able to retire in a couple years from the Navy Reserves so this limits us somewhat now, but after that we could go anywhere in the world. I am a "jack of all trades." I can build and repair or blow up (Navy air-launched weapons and the Seabees taught me lots of fun stuff) just about anything. I am a teacher, preacher and apologist. I love teaching God's Word and seeing the "lights come on" in those I teach. I love acting and singing as well as website design and artwork. We are just looking for a place to serve the Lord until he returns and we kind of need some funds to live on, too. Please pray for us. Thanks. Married - Posted: September 26, 2009 by Galen Thorp - 2000 Just to touch base with 2000 Florida alumns, I thought I'd enter a post saying that I married an Oklahoma girl, Annie Santelmann, on December 6, 2008. If you remember me and we haven't connected on Facebook, send me a message! Growing in ministry... - Posted: September 15, 2009 by Carl and Beverly Gibbs - 1974 Greetings - after "only" 31 yrs in Christian School ministry - God is growing us into a position as Associate Pastor here in Hagerstown, MD . . . The latest update - Posted: September 14, 2009 by Roger Sible - 1976 Hi gang! Well, the Lord has been good to us in providing His instructions on how to manage finances, so we are 'okay' for the time being by having followed them, but resources are not unlimited. Almost 6 months since my last job. Any in this boat with me are welcome to email and discuss options, opportunities, and blessings. Starting a small consulting business is one of them. God bless, Rich (Roger, '76) God keeps blessing! - Posted: August 8, 2009 by David Jordan - 1986 , 1987 I had a post from 2006, you may have read it. Well, this is an update on that post. I had eye surgery last May (08), and was able to get my drivers license back, WOW, what a blessing. I can't see where I am going, but it sure is fun!!! Maybe I'll run into you one of these days! Looking for BI colleagues - Posted: July 8, 2009 by Roger Sible - 1976 Back again... If anyone knows the whereabouts of Phil Plack, Iva Young, or Randy Kuhner, please contact me. Still looking - Posted: July 8, 2009 by Roger Sible - 1976 Hello again, all. Nothing has changed regarding my present job search, and God has His reasons for that, too. If any of you would like to assist me with this, please contact me. My BI material is current. As always class, if you're coming toward the south down I85, you'll drive right past the place and you're welcome to call for directions & stop by. Got a job! - Posted: July 6, 2009 by Danielle (Christ) and Chaz Foster - 2002 Praise God! He provided me with a job in a tough economical time AND when the NYC public schools are NOT hiring from the outside! I'm now working at Evangel Christian School teaching 6th-8th grade English/Reading. They have provided very affordable housing for us too! So we moved...again...in April to Long Island City. Hershey (mobile) Drive-In Theatre - Posted: June 28, 2009 by Master John A Kraly - 1992 , 1993 My pre-movie message last night(6/27) was on the similarities between Samson & Anakin Skywalker because the movie was Star Wars Clone Wars from last summer, NOT the TV show. Message was received well and LifeSabers has been invited back for future pre-movie messages by this "Purpose Driven Business."
