Tell us a little about yourself. I am a graduate of Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, Iowa. My husband and I have been serving with Baptist Mid-Missions since 1978. We served sixteen years in Taiwan. We left Taiwan in 1996. We came to New Zealand in 1998. My husband is the pastor of a mission church in Invercargill, New Zealand. We have two daughters who are no longer living at home.
What was your motivation behind this project? I wanted to give a realistic view of life on a modern mission field. Missions today happens in very progressive countries as well as primitive ones. Many missionaries minister in English, though many learn a variety of foreign languages. Missionary kids get their education in many different ways. Each country is different. Each missionary kid faces his own challenges. Yet each one can find a way to serve the Lord.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope that young readers will catch the excitement of serving the Lord. I hope that they will be challenged to consider whether or not the Lord is calling them into missions. While they are young I hope that they will find ways to serve the Lord in whatever situation they are in.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? My father was a pastor. My parents loved the ministry and felt privileged to serve the Lord. They gave me a desire to serve the Lord, too. My journalism teacher in college, Mr. Clarence Townsend, gave me the courage to begin writing, and I have had this ministry ever since that time.
