Spring2011 Intensive Care Army Strong Needless to say, I loved the article on my daughter, Sarah Greenberg ’09 (“War Stories,” Spring 2011). We are very proud of her and all the other soldiers who are giving so much. We always enjoy the articles in Inspire , and now it’s very special to us. I love the pictures in Alumnotes and always read the President’s Perspective to see what Dr. Brown is reading. Jane Greenberg Westwood, New Jersey Full Circle Jennifer (Kamauf) Kuczynski’s ’96 unique story about reconnecting with Candice Rankin through a Cedarville sweatshirt (“Connected by Cotton,” Spring 2011) inspired us to create the Serendipity feature in Inspire . Candice and her husband, Joel, flew from New Zealand to Michigan in June for a five-week stay with Jennifer and her husband, Kevin ’96. Jennifer and Candice brought their sweatshirts to Cedarville in July and enjoyed a look around campus before heading to Walt Disney World! Do you have a story about a delightfully unexpected Cedarville connection? Visit cedarville.edu/inspire to tell us about it! Update From Togo Since the last Inspire (“Twenty Years in Togo,” Spring 2011), our team of nursing students traveled to Togo, West Africa, and back. We provided biblically based nursing care to Togolese patients and families at the Hôpital Baptiste Biblique, a ministry of ABWE, and at outpatient clinics. Among the highlights of our time in Togo was seeing fruits of our long-term investment in this special part of the world. Brenda Mastin ’86 is leading a growing ministry in southern Togo. She is training teams to teach families, pastors, and church members the ministry of Christlike compassion for individuals infected by AIDS. Another special memory was witnessing the wedding of Ablam and Pidenam, two Togolese nurses who were my students at the hospital. What a joy to see them choose to use nursing as a ministry for Christ. Thank you for your prayers on our behalf. We know of at least 16 individuals who trusted Christ. Rejoice and pray with me for these new brothers and sisters! Lois K. Baker, Ph.D., RN Senior Professor of Nursing 2 SUMMER 2011 let ters
