A Note from The Schultz Family

Our spring term for training missionaries is now underway. Surprisingly, our numbers are lower than normal especially after all the growth we experienced the last few years. However, this does give us a chance to invest more personally in the lives of those God has sent to us. Kathy has children only for two weeks this spring so she is spending her time discipling a couple of ladies in our church plus spending time with our daughter Beth who has moved home for a while. Registrations for the summer look strong so we believe these low numbers are just an anomaly.

We (Beth included) spent a couple of weeks in Alaska back in January and had a wonderful trip visiting friends and speaking at the mission’s conference of Lazy Mountain Bible Church. It was a privilege to invest into the ministry of the church and so much fun to visit our former place of ministry and be encouraged by so many people. We forgot what “real” cold weather was like but we did enjoy it. We even got to spend a day riding a snowmachine!

Upon returning George led the CIT Steering Committee meeting, led a workshop at the National Missionary Training Forum in Richmond, VA, worked on a committee for the Blackbaud software conversion coming July 1, met with the UWM Board sub-committee for our 5 Year Strategic Ministry Plan, and prepared for the upcoming term.

On Saturday we leave for a weeklong mission’s conference in Charlotte at Calvary Church then on to Shannon Forest Pres. Church in Greenville for their mission’s conference a week later. These are busy days.

Our daughter Beth moved back home for a while in January (we’re happy to have her!) and found a job at a local veterinary clinic as a vet technician. She is also taking online coursework to improve and enhance skills in this field.

We thank you for your continuing prayers and support.

George and Kathy
