May God bless you-
Doug and Jennifer
Your partnership enabled us to study hard and become better prepared for the mission field ahead. Every week, we are
meeting with numerous couples, hearing stories and equipping
many to serve in their neighborhoods and churches.
Thank you for your generosity and your part in building up the
kingdom!
TeamWittenberg News Preparing to serve as CO Regional Missionaries with FamilyLife (a ministry of CRU)
Doug and I were immensely
blessed to be able to spend two weeks in Orlando on the Rollins
College campus, taking two graduate level seminary Bible
classes through the Institute for Biblical Studies. This is Crus own in-house institute for
equipping staff for the mission field, in the US and abroad.
We took two classes, Intro to Christian Theology and Bible Study Methods. Four hours of lecture a day, plus many pro-
jects, papers and homework as-signments. We
conducted a total of six Worldview Surveys with fam-ily members and people on the street. Such a privilege to enter into conversations about faith, and their thoughts about who Christ is and what it all means!
