A Sad Day at MTW

Jan Kooistra, wife of Dr. Paul Kooistra (MTW Coordinator), passed away on Sunday. You can read more on MTW's website here. Although we knew Jan's health was drastically declining around the turn of the year, it was still very difficult news to hear. Leslie and I really didn't know Jan. I had only met her a few times. But we felt a special closeness to her because of her battle with cancer. Her testimony was tremendous (you can read some here). Dr. Kooistra's was as well. I never knew as I first heard him share about caring for her, the impact it would have in my own life. Please pray for the Kooistra's as they walk through this time of grief.
