When Jon Comes Marching Home Again, Hoorah, Huzzah!
Today, Jonathan completes boot camp in ALERT, where the motto is: STRONG TO SERVE.
There is a lot that happens in a man’s life however, that precedes his determination to begin and finish emergency response training. Here is a glimpse of the ways we have seen you welcome the role of noble manhood and servant leadership, Jonathan . . .
.
It started early.
.
.
.
It progressed one year at a time!
.
.
.
It involved: lots of adventures . . .
.
.
.
.
catching the greased pig . . .
.
.
.
.
. . . brothers . . . . . . holidays . . . . . . and many miracles!
It included rising early
on your mission to
the String Workshop . . .
.
.
.
.
. . . and back again, bringing Esther safely home on your first plane trip.
Dusting, driving, clearing trails and supporting others all required strength
as did bread-baking/marketing, sap-tapping and daily character-building
–strength that was the Lord’s strength to fight the world, flesh and devil.
.
Jonathan I am so looking forward to spending a lot of time with you the next few days!!!
Congratulations Jonathan!
What a good collection of photos of his life! We enjoyed seeing them. It will be so good to have your son/brother home again.
The time is drawing closer every second. Anytime now, they should be arriving back from the airport . . .
Welcome home Jon! I trust you made it home safely.Hopefully we will be seeing you all soon. Enjoyed the pictures and the history.
What an accomplishment, Jonathan! I have loved hearing all your stories over the past few days. Can’t wait to see how the Lord will use your time there at ALERT in the future. You have already challenged all of us to a higher standard! Keep it up!!
Congratulations Jonathan!
