Spring has sprung, the grass has ris';

I wonder where the graduate is?

Well, we found him in Springfield, MO after a flight from Mexico City and a drive from Dallas.

Our stay in Springfield began with a parent's brunch and then a Baccalaureate service where Wesley and other honor students were recognized for outstanding achievement in their degree fields. Stuart and I are very proud of Wesley who graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Music Industry.

As many of you know, Wesley is on to Spain this summer as a MAPS volunteer to intern with International Media Ministries. He's already bought the plane tickets, people! But he still needs some funding. If you would like to invest in Wesley's internship, he has a gofundme account that is quick and easy to use. If you'd prefer to mail an offering you can send it to:

Wesley M Brown
3320 South Meadowlark Ave
Springfield, MO 65807

Either way, all funds go directly to Wesley and his internship with IMM and you will receive a receipt.

Thanks everyone for your generosity and encouragement toward Wesley. We really appreciate it.

One question, three kids, and some heartfelt answers

Once upon a time, a visiting missions team asked a question to our three, new-to-the-mission-field kids, "If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you want to live?"

Favorite child #1 said, "I'd want to live wherever mommy and daddy live."

Sensitive child #2 said, "I'd rather live in Fort Wayne."

Brutally honest child #3 said, "I'd rather live anywhere else."

Since making those smile-inducing declarations, our kids have lived in three foreign contexts, graduated from high school, and become well-adjusted young adults :).

Furthermore child #2, otherwise known as Wesley, will be a MAPS volunteer with International Media Ministries (IMM) in Madrid, Spain this summer after graduating from Evangel University. (In case you were wondering, IMM purposes to partner with missionaries, national churches, and media outlets to produce both mainstream and new media, train others in specific skills, and mentor a new generation in media missions.)

All grown up and ready to take on the world.

Wesley has been studying Music Industry at Evangel, therefore an internship with IMM to pursue his passion for music (editing/producing) and connect it with the mission of God is a wonderful opportunity.

Of course, every opportunity has a corresponding cost, but we trust with a little hard work, your prayers, and the generosity of friends and family we can make this dream come true. For this internship, Wesley needs to raise $5000 for airfare, housing, insurance, and personal expenses to live and minister in Spain for 3 months.

If you would like to give, Wesley has set up a go fund me account that is quick and easy to use. If you prefer to mail an offering, please send it to:

Wesley Brown

1111 N Glenstone Ave

Springfield, MO 65802

Either way, you will receive a receipt and all funds go directly to Wesley and his internship with IMM.

Please, let Wesley know you'll be praying for him as well.

Thanks, everyone!
