MICHEALS’ MEMOIRS December 2021 Update
Dear Friends and Family, When looking back on things, we can often see God’s Providential hand leading and guiding and such was the case for us this past fall. After trying for over 18 months, due to the impact of COVID 19, to report in person with people and supporting churches in the Kalamazoo, MI area, it finally worked for us to visit them! This newsletter is to let you see what we do when visiting supporters to report on our work.
October 2021 - Barb and her oldest sister Jan
Visiting Barb’s Sisters If we are near family, we visit them first! So, during our visit to Kalamazoo, we were able to visit two of Barb’s sisters (Jan and Brenda). Jan, the oldest had a significant stroke a number of years ago and had been living in Virginia, but her daughter whom she had been living with them, recently moved her to Kalamazoo just shortly before we came to visit. So, we spent a wonderful afternoon with Jan, Brenda and our family. Only within the past week did we get the news that Jan’s health had deteriorated and on December 11, she passed away. How wonderful it was that we were able to be with her before her death and she met her Savior!

We hope these next few pages will help you see the work we often never mention. That work is visiting, reporting and thanking partners who pray and financially support our work with Wycliffe.
