From Pamala:

Cozy winter New Year’s greetings to you! Our hearts are warmed by the time we’ve had as a family. This happens once a year, now that we’re based Stateside, which is a joy to look forward to!


Timothy (33) lives in northern Kansas City, so we see him more frequently. He works for the Missouri Department of Social Services.


Jonathan (31) continues to live in his northern California home, gardening in his yard and working his dream job as a computer scientist for Khan Academy.


Elizabeth (28) and Stephen Sell are buying a cute home in downtown Kansas City. She works as a counselor and social worker, and he in law enforcement.


Matthew (25) is renovating his home in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, and working in UX design at Equifax. He enjoys his two kittens and jiu-jitsu, which he introduced Daniel to over Christmas break.


Kirsten (19) enjoys her job as a hotel receptionist and is transitioning to living partially independently with a friend while enjoying her cat.


Daniel (15) is Mr. Fix-it Problem Solver for everything around our house and is trying out jiu-jitsu. He 3D prints all kinds of things.


Ariela (12) plays beautiful piano music and enjoys time with friends and our neighbor’s growing family, plus American Heritage Girls.


We thank God for our children and ask you to continue to pray for them regularly.

I (Todd) have had the privilege of teaching some adult Sunday school classes, most recently from R. C. Sproul’s, Everyone’s a Theologian. If you’d like to listen to some of the lessons, you can find them here.

In December we mentioned the Christmas pageant that Pamala wrote and directed. If you would like to watch it, click here.


Thank you for your prayers!


Todd & Pamala
