Betty had the privilege to meet Jan Johnson, Ponderosa Chapter Good News Club missionary for the past school year.  Jan is amazing woman!  She lives out of a suitcase 11 months out of the year as she travels throughout the Asia Pacific area training workers to reach children for Christ.  “It is all for the children” Jan humbly stated.

“It felt like the Lord was in the room” was stated from a volunteers husband who attended.  He was in the room!   The Lord’s Spirit is evident in the lives of those who faithfully serve – reaching Central Oregon children with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Brian Davelaar presented Ponderosa Chapter Committee with a copy of the picture on the screen.  Brian and Linda were Ponderosa Chapter missionaries supported in prayer and with Good News Club offerings as they served the Lord in Namibia, South Africa.  Brian shared that over 7000 children were counseled to receive Christ during he and Linda’s 12 years of serving in Namibia.

Leslie has faithfully served as Ponderosa Chapter Field Missionary since September 2013.  She will continue being on staff as Summer Missionary Intern from June through August.  It is a joy to serve with young adults who love the Lord, understand the importance of reaching children with the Truth of Jesus Christ and are willing to give of their time to as missionaries right here in Central Oregon!
