Merv and Juanita are from Pennsylvania, where they live and work at a youth center. This Spring saw them taking a few months off of their busy schedule to get away for a while, to spiritually regroup, and allow God to refresh them and encourage them in their work. We met them when Merv's computer crashed and Jodi's aunt pointed them to us, so we might let them use one of our laptops.
Jodi and I have always had a special place in our hearts for people who have given their lives to mission work... abandoning the financial safety of a 8-5 job and raising their own support, taking on the hurting, the poor, the under-priveleged of the world and trying to make a difference in someone's life. So, we called up Juanita and told them we wanted to take their family pictures, because we so believe in and appreciate what they are doing.
Merv and Juanita are heading back to PA before too long, and we pray that God continues to use them to restore broken lives as they reach out to local youth. God bless you guys!
