IONA SENSKE HOME GOING
Former staff member Iona Senske, wife of David Senske went home to be with the Lord on October 30th. David and Iona served with the MIM for 11 years as House Parents in the Mission’s Foster Home. They had many native children that lived with them over the years. Iona’s funeral was held on Nov. 3rd in Wallace, Michigan. It was good to see David and the couples children Becky Senske, Bethany and her husband Scott Kisting and children and Brent and Heather Senske. David will continue to reside with Becky Senske in Dodgeville, Wisconsin.
Be in pray for David and family as they continue on without Iona.

NEW HOPE SHELTER AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
We are in the process of starting a homeless shelter. We have begun startup procedures, talked with many people from other shelters, local agencies and the Salvation Army. We get calls from people who have no place to live and others who are getting out of jail or drug/alcohol treatment that need a place to stay as they
transition back into the community. We desire to provide overnight and daily stays for emergencies and also transitional living. We already have some of the needed facilities in place and in the next months will decide what else that we need and how to move forward in that process. We already have at least five people who are willing to serve with us on a Homeless Shelter Board. We had a great meeting with the Field Representative from the Salvation Army on May 1st. Mr. Tom Bremer is willing to work with us, be a member of the Homeless Shelter board and guide us as we walk through this process. The Homeless Shelter Board will be meeting again June 12th. Be in prayer with us concerning this needed ministry.
