Welcome to our family!
My family consists of my wife Lenore (who loves cooking and is very out-going), Joshua (who is with us on the field and likes basketball, weight-lifting, drawing, and playing the guitar and violin), Jonathan (who is training at a Bible College in the states), myself (who is an unusual character), all those who sort of adopted us as we traveled doing God's will, and various pets we have became attached to along the way.. While we have two others who live on our church property and are like "family," here we will highlight some recent news about the "Mislan" family.

Always Under Construction
Recent E-mail from our Son Jonathan:
I love you too. You really don't have to send me any $. I'm perfectly fine and the Lord takes care of me. I'm already here in Oklahoma city and have been since last Sunday, I've been kind of interning at the church here. They just finished their annual youth conference and the Lord blessed in a great way! There were over 900 high school kids here.The preaching was great, some souls were saved, and many decision were made! The dorms open at the school on Friday Aug 21. First day of classes is about a week after that, in between is a week of preaching. Actually you would be surprised to know that I have a very good wardrobe. In fact when I get settled in my dorm room, I'm gonna have to downsize it and give some stuff away. I have plenty (too many) good suits and jackets,plenty of dress pants, and way too many dress shirts! The Lord takes care of me. In fact I was at Little Coweta Baptist Church .(that's the church Jed is from, the other guy from Heartland that worked at the Camp with me this summer) I was there for a little bit between Camp getting out and coming back down here to Oklahoma .While I was there the Pastor gave me a whole bunch of brand new, still-in-the-package dress shirts and told me to just give away whatever I didn't want/need. SO yes ma'm, my wardrobe is good, thanks to the LORD. Really the last thing I need is more clothes. I'm fine so you really don't need to send me money. You probably need it more than I do. Just do with it however the Lord leads you. Here's the house number where I'm staying at, XXXX if you want to call. If you want to call me on Wednesday, the best time is after church because I'll be working all day. Around 10 Am Thursday morning (your time) would be best if you want to. Oh yeah, the money that grandma sent, the best way would probably be if you sent it through Western Union . Just let me know how to receive it when you do it. Well,that's all I've got for now. I love you all, Goodbye and GOD bless!

Old fashioned Values are still Alive! Hi Dad how's everything been going? Well, to be honest I'm emailing you right now to ask you a question. There's finally a girl here at college that I believe the Lord has caused me to take notice of. I've talked w/ her a bit already but before I pursue to try and get to know her any more, I believe the Biblical thing to do is to come to you as my father with this question. Do you believe that I am ready to pursue a relationship? I know I haven't been around where you can have too much of an eye on me, so if you don't feel you can answer I understand. I would highly value any input you could give. I'm just trying to do things the Bible way. Well, thank you and I hope to here from you soon. Goodbye and GODbless!

RECENT E-MAIL FROM A BIBLE COLLEGE STUDENT WHO KNOWS JONATHAN: You ought to know (I'm sure you do) that your son is an amazing man of God. For someone as young as he is, he constantly challenges me to live a more holy life. His influence has changed the way I live, and I just felt like you ought to hear that -- he really is a light that makes the rest of the campus look dark in comparison. And the best part is, he doesn't look at it that way. He just wants to do right. Thanks for raising such a good young man; your sacrifices paid off. I am praying for you on the mission field. May the lamb that was slain receive the full reward of His suffering!
PHOTO RIGHT: Yes, Jonathan graduated from Bible College and is now on church staff completing his internship.
