WAYNE & CHRISTY SHARP, ETHNOS 360, Missouri The Sharps have brought their field experience to the Camdenton Training Center to assist in preparing candidates for the field. They actually have other job titles as Wayne works to maintain the buildings and systems of the school and residences while
Christy helps with the bookkeeping as well as assisting young parents in get-ting their children enrolled in school or lined up with pediatricians. This is the facility where Ethnos missionaries are trained in the skills they will need to move into a primitive tribe and invest 20 – 30 years of their lives creating a written language and producing a New Testament. The Sharps are empty nesters now. Beka serves in the Black Forest Academy in Germany, Josh is working on an M Div. at Baylor and Adrianna is a college freshman in Florida – not far from Grandma (Linda Krieg). The Sharps have been under sup-ported for a long time and Wayne augments their finances by working in a local hotel. Christy is working on an AA in Business and will graduate in May. Pray for their energy level as they are active in several areas.

† Nancy Basden’s sister, Sharon, has several health issues causing her much pain. Pray for pain relief and God’s will in her life. Also, her sister Anita’s breast cancer has returned after ten years of remission. Pray it has not spread to other areas and for it to be treatable without surgery.
