40th Class Reunion at MBI


Glenn and I attended our 
40th year class reunion
 at Moody Bible Institute this week in downtown Chicago.

We both graduated in the 1978 class, but never met until several months later.  I finished up in May in Chicago receiving a Foreign Missions diploma and Glenn finished up at the Elizabethton, Tennessee campus in July, receiving a Missionary Aviation diploma. 32 years later, we completed the additional hours and both graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies degree in 2010 (the same year as our daughter, Karen, got her degree).

We are so blessed to have received such a great Biblical education. 

The Alumni Association coordinated a special 2 day event for all the folks who came to the reunion during the legendary Founder's Week Conference.

I'm thankful for re-connecting with former classmates of ours.  Here are some miscellaneous  photos.

God bless the school that D.L. Moody Founded;
Firm may she stand, tho' by foes of truth surrounded!
Riches of grace bestowed may she never squander,
Keeping true to God and man her record over yonder.
 
We also connected with Paul and Ruth, class of 1953!  It was their 65th year class reunion.  They serve with us in Guatemala.
