Milt Jones' Ministry Adventure

Dear Friends,

I wanted to take a few moments of your time to tell you about the ministry my brother Milt Jones, his wife Becky, and children Ian, Rochelle, Amanda, and Isabel are getting ready for. They had planned to go to the mission field, but their youngest child Isabel has some health problems that have made that goal unrealistic.

Instead the Lord has opened the opportunity for them to move to Waxhaw, NC to work with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Milt will be doing cultural and linguistic research on the Old Testament to support the translators in the field. This seems to be a great match for his gifts.

He attended BWC and the University of Washington for one year each before going to the University of Arizona where he received a BS in Electrical Engineering. He worked in that field for several years in California, then felt called into missions. He prepared for the mission field by earning a BA in Bible from Moody Bible Institute, then an M. Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He completed the course work for a Th. M., and taught Hebrew courses as a graduate assistant at Trinity as well.

When Isabel arrived in the world with her health problems Milt suspended his educational work. The family moved to the Bay area so he could go back to work for Peterson Tractor Corporation which offers good health care benefits. Isabel is almost 6 now and doing very well. The call to missions has remained and now they have an opportunity to pursue it here in the States through Wycliffe.

Would you consider partnering with them through prayer and/or financial support? Let me know if you have any questions or comments. I'll do my best to get the information for you.

Milt is available to speak to groups and churches. He also sends newsletters and emails from time to time for those who are interested. Here's his contact information if you want to get in touch with him:
Milt & Rebecca Jones, 3170 Aylesbury Ct, Castro Valley, CA 94546.
Email: milt_jones@sil.org. Phone: 510-886-8104.

Thanks for letting me tell you about Milt and his adventure.

In Memory of Bonnie Mills

Bonnie Mills went to be with the Lord on January 30, 2008 after a three year battle with cancer. Bonnie served as First Lady at OWU for 19 years alongside her husband, Paul. She made a big impact in the Alumni relations office where she worked part-time for several years. The picture of Paul and Bonnie at the left was taken at OWU's Homecoming in October 2007.

I know for me personally, Bonnie Mills was a beautiful example of Christ. Her spirit and grace taught me what a woman of Christ should be like. Her legacy will continue for many years to come.

80's Directory

I've finally figured out how to make the directory available through the blog (See link below). If anyone has suggestions as to another way to do it, let me know. Also, send updates to me and I'll make the changes for you.

Now we have no excuse not to keep in touch!

You Know You're Getting Old If...

This is something Dan Jones received from the beloved Prof. Rogers. I thought it would fit in well with our blog.

"My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting the the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name.

Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on way back then? Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.

This balding, gray haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.

'Yes, Yes, I did. I'm a Mustang,' he gleamed with pride.

'When did you graduate?' I asked.

He answered, 'In 1959. Why do you ask?'

'You were in my class?', I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, gray haired, decrepit guy asked, 'What did you teach?'"

Now I realize we aren't there yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Thanks Dan!
