Hmmm,
let's see... One word to describe Kevin? That's a tough one. Many
words can be used to describe our friend: devoted son and brother,
faithful friend, truthful, humble yet noble, encourager and counselor,
servant, warrior,
and of course, dedicated Christian. Another word that comes to
mind when describing Kevin is "Chosen" In the short
months that we were priviledged to serve with Kevin in ChallengePoint
in 2003 before his deployment to Iraq, One thing was always very
evident in when talking with Kevin - that God had chosen him for
His marvelous works. You don't have to look very hard to find
Kevin's faith, servant heart, and dedication to the work that
he has been called to do. I know he has this same dedication as
he serves our country in Iraq for the greater good of freedom
at work there.
As
you know, Kevin served in the work of ChallengePoint during the
summer of 2003. It is truly a privedge to know Kevin and was an
honor to serve with him during his internship. After returning
to school in the fall of 2003 to finish up his coursework at Southeast
Missouri State University, his Army National Guard Reserve Unit
was called up to serve in Iraq, or "the beach" as Kevin
has nick-named it, Kevin's school decided to allow him to graduate
early, and he shipped out early in 2004. Needless to say, Kevin's
tour has been an adventure, but by no means a walk in the park.
His work has included improvements to schools; patrols of various
kinds, and most recently, the collection and destruction of old
bombs and weapons that could jeopardize the safety of both US
forces and Iraqi Citizens. Kevin feels good about the work he
is doing, and he has a very good attitude about being there. Kevin
will likely be on active duty in Iraq until March 2005,
so please keep him and his unit in your prayers as they carry
out the work of nation-building.
If you would like to email Kevin, send him a message at this address:
