Throwback Packing
Circa June 1997
Just came across this photo from 1997. We had just moved into our newly built home in North Carolina three months prior and now we were packing to return to Indonesia. Some of our stuff was staying in the house for renters, some was being stored off site and the rest I was trying to fit in our bags. Each item was a decision making moment and it was EXHAUSTING! We knew it would be three or four years until we looked at everything again. Upon the advise of my husband, I called a friend with years of experience and she helped me decide what we needed and what we could live without. I really don’t miss doing this!

Promises Promises
“Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and bring glory to your name.
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
I love this promise and prophecy from God in his book of Revelations! Did you see the highlighted words? ALL NATIONS! All nations with all of their own languages will one day worship our God together. One way to reach them? Give them the words of God in their own language so they know how to get to heaven! Their worship can begin here on earth!
This is the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators and Wycliffe Associates. I’m so glad we get to be a part of it with you.
Wednesday night we’ll be sharing at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, SC. Hope to see you there!
Where it all started…
The Ken Haugh Family-August 1990.
It was 1990. Ken walked by a Wycliffe Bible Translators table with this sign on it: “99 Computer Positions Available Now.” It was the start of a decision that would change our lives. By that August, we had joined Wycliffe and haven’t looked back!
Information Technology (IT) positions are still available. If you are someone who loves computers or if you know of someone who might like to check out those positions and see fit they are a good fit, keep reading. There are three good opportunities for you.
