Ryon's Missionary Journey 1983-2003
|
In
1983 we started as missionaries with Trans World Radio on Bonaire,
Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean. There Jack maintained the diesels
and antenna of the radio station that covers most of South America, the
Caribbean and Central America. I, Louanne taught the Bible and sewing to
the ladies along with home schooling our son Isaiah.
In 1989 we transferred to SIM to help in the building of a new radio station in Liberia but a war broke out so we went to Ghana for five months to wait it out. There we did all kinds of maintenance type work for the mission. We were able to get a relief truck running again after being down for five years. And I made curtains for the guest house. Then we went to Trans World Radio in Swaziland to do diesel and antenna work. In 1992 we went with SEND in Alaska to work with their radio station, Bible college, and medical work. We went there to get our son back into US culture and schooling. This is where Jack started to work with accounting and bookkeeping. So in 1995 Jack took a course and we headed to SIM HQ to learn their way of bookkeeping. Our idea was that we would go into the field and serve overseas, but God had different plans. We are here at SIM HQ in South Carolina where Jack works as an Administrative missionary; doing accounting, computer spread sheets, taxes, medical paper work, and anywhere else he is needed to help with the paper work that needs to be done for almost 1000 missionaries. I help out in the receipting department. It has been said it takes 12 men to keep one solider on the field. Well it is true for missionaries as well. |
