I am so privileged to be in the ministry! God has blessed me and allowed me to take over 600 Americans overseas to distribute Bibles in Romania, Moldova, and the Ukraine. And I have brought all of them back. Although some of them I should not have brought back. Ha, ha! One summer we had an interesting combination of workers. And four of them had a curious relationship. Let me explain: Brother Dan Arsenault and Brent Jones were pastors from Alabama and Florida and blessed many folk in Romania with their preaching. But they were frustrated. They were constantly thinking about all of their friends and relatives back in America to buy souvenirs for. And then there was Lois Walthuis and her friend Lynn Schmidt from Ionia, Michigan. Sweet, sweet little old ladies – I know, I know – I am going to get into trouble for saying that. When Lois and Lynn heard of Dan and Bret’s dilemma, they jumped right in. They were delighted to help. The men made a list of who to buy for, set a budget, and gave the ladies their money. The ladies grabbed the money and promptly went shopping. The men relaxed and did nothing, and the ladies were in heaven! What a deal for both parties!
