AVERY WETZIG’S  HOME GOING Director Don Dewing May 4, 2008, Avery Wetzig, one of the founders of MIM, died at his home in Crandon, WI surrounded by his family.    Avery, 83, was born July 23, 1924. Avery served as mission director and pastor from 1969 to 1978.  In 1978 he moved to Milwaukee and pastored there but remained active on a part time basis with us until 1986.  Before moving to Crandon in 1969 Avery had been active in bringing short term mission teams to Crandon to work in VBS, Bible Camps and construction projects. His interest in and commitment to Native ministries through the years built the foundation that we still build upon today.  Native people still talk about the Bible camps he ran, the snowmobile rides he provided each week during the winter,  youth groups, Kids Clubs that he and Bertha ran, his helping build churches, home and community buildings.      He had a deep concern for Native children which lead him to start a foster home for Native children and to search for a young couple to minister to the youth.  This is where Teleka and I came in.  Avery introduced us to native ministry and challenged us to allow God to break our hearts for the children and youth of the community.      Avery loved God’s Word, challenged those he ministered to to believe in and trust God’s Word. He committed his life to preaching the gospel to small communities through out the United States. I pray that those of us who continue what he helped start will be as faithful and committed as he was. Megwetch Avery.
