The Graduate

On November 28, 2009, Kendall received his diploma from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He graduated with a Masters of Divinity with an emphasis in International Church Planting. Kendall and James Adair are the first two graduates from SWBTS to graduate from the 2 + 3 International Church Planting program. It was a special day for our family!







By tradition, the wives receive their husbands after they receive their diploma!



Several missionaries came to join in the graduation celebration! Praise the Lord for our sweet mission family!

Kevin and Suzie are more than our leaders, they are precious friends and great encouragers. It was so special that they were in attendance for this very special occasion.
