Thad
Thad is in the midst of scheduling his trips for this year. His first set of traveling is for Global Technology meetings at the end of February. For the remainder of the year, he will be traveling roughly once a month to implement TntMPD.DataServer and some other helpful tools for various National Ministries. He’s including Jana and Oliver on a couple of his trips, which makes the scheduling less demanding.
This year will hopefully be one to look back on and see multiple ministries who operate better because of these tools. Please pray for Thad as he plans and coordinates these trips; pray also for the ministries he is planning to help; and especially for smoothness in the implementation of the tools and their continued use. His ultimate desire is to be able to provide tools that can be easily used and maintained within the national ministries.
In just writing this, it amazes me how the Lord is able to use such a skill set for His purposes. Thad finds fulfillment in helping various operational offices be able to work more efficiently, which ultimately leads to individual missionaries having more time to tell people about Jesus. To God be the glory!
Update on Jana
Jana is adjusting to life as a new mom. So far, her days have been spent watching Oliver’s smile go from his mouth to his eyes and all the way down to his feet, seeing him discover himself in a mirror, and taking him out for walks or to visit friends.
Agape has plans for another magazine style booklet which Jana will be a part of creating. She looks forward to continuing this work, but definitely pray for her as she learns to balance being a mom and working. Thad is excited because that means he will sometimes have a day at home with the little fellow!
Pray also for Jana as she adjusts back to ‘life with energy’. She is eager to return to her ballet class, rejuvenate her friendships around town (especially with a new ‘topic of conversation’), and finally tackle some sewing projects she has had on her mind.
Humbly,
Thad and Jana
