Jeremy and Jeanna Zajicek ('03)

We received a great update from Jeremy and Jeanna!

"Much has happened in the course of the last several months. We did move back to MN after 13 months in WI. The move to WI was a great experience for Jeanna and me. The Lord opened so many doors for us to get to WI and then once we were in WI, the Lord started closing doors to making the transition final – the sale of our home in MN. So for 13 months we rented a duplex in WI and also maintained our home in MN.

"Despite the difficult financial times the Lord met our every need.... What a blessing to serve a God who holds the world in his hands! The move was a time of adventure, but more importantly a time of drawing closer to our heavenly father.

"The Lord did open doors for a good job back in Minnesota and we were able to move right back into our home. I have been working for Hennepin County for 9 months now.... I oversee the administration of several benefits and also supervise staff in my unit. The Lord has blessed me with a unique set of leadership skills and I have had the opportunity in many of my jobs to develop into positions above what I was hired for....

"I serve as a Deacon for First Baptist Church in St. Francis. The pastor is Steve Brower, also a graduate from Maranatha. I serve on a number of committees, including our Christian School board. Of course I love spending time with my growing family. The latest edition to our family is Natalie June born on December 23, 2008."

Josh ('03) and Ginny ('03) Logan

Ginny writes: "Praise the LORD, we bought a house and will be working on it in October so we can move in by the 31st. We didn't think we'd ever be able to afford a house in California. However, the Lord has been very good to us and we were able to get a foreclosed house!

"Josh is currently applying for some city positions. He drives 1 1/2 hours each way to work right now and it's just too far and expensive with gas prices and bridge tolls.

"I'm still working as church secretary from home so I can take care of Jack (just turned 1 in August). I do work in the office one day a week and my mother in law watches Jack. It's an ideal schedule."
