Visit from North Wake

Every term our church from seminary, North Wake Church, sends either staff or members to visit their missionaries serving internationally. While this is certainly a big commitment, as they have sent out many families to serve overseas, it is something we are grateful for. Our personal visit came a few weeks back. We met the Merkle family just across the border in Penang, Malaysia. The Merkles are members at North Wake Church and Ben is also a professor at Southeastern Seminary. He is teaching for the semester at the Baptist Seminary in Penang.

We had a great time with Ben, his wife Marian, and their three children. Thanks Merkles for taking the time to catch up with us and thanks North Wake for your

continued investment. We appreciate you guys!

Also, Ben Merkle recently published two fantastic books on elders in the church. He offers much wisdom on this subject. Click on the pictures for more information.
