Update for family reunion
We are prospering. Chris is enjoying his "encore career". The church that he is pastoring is growing as God continues to bless us. The weekly cycle of two sermons on Sunday and a Wednesday lesson is challenging, but allows Chris to pursue his greatest passion: digging into God's Word, mining its nuggets, and sharing the gold of the Gospel. It's the best job in the world. Come and See Africa is moving along. Chris just returned from Rwanda on July 28 and is now busy raising funds to complete a Christian House near the University of Rwanda. He also is continuing a ministry at San Quentin prison. Chris will be receiving his Army Reserve retirement on his upcoming milestone birthday and hopes to travel more with Kim.
Kim is on summer break from San Francisco State. She just finished teaching adults at a Vacation Bible School and had lots of fun. Chris and Kim moved out of the church parsonage and into a nearby condominium in Hayward on May first. It's about a 15-minute drive from church. We enjoy the condo lifestyle [secure and no grass to cut]. Kim swims every morning in a pool that's just outside the door.
Zachary is pursuing the life of a scholar. He is continuing his studies at Catholic University in Washington DC and is almost an "ABD" [All-but-dissertation]. He recently had to pass proficiency tests in German and French. He is working at irregular intervals for Powerscore, an organization that prepares students for testing in the SAT, GRE, and LSAT. [You know he's smart because he had to score in the 99th percentile to qualify to teach the classes.] Zachary will be teaching undergraduate philosophy classes in the Fall.
