I am totally impressed that Mrs. Brandt is a servant of God who used the best of tools - computer technology - when others were still resistant to changes.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183404267160772530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-14582204119713942892009-09-29T15:00:19.431-07:002009-09-29T15:00:19.431-07:00Oh, Julie...what a beautifully moving story!

I'm always overwhelmed when I hear of someone who allows God to use them and work through them to this extent.

Evelyn is a friend of my parents and of my parents in law. My husbands relatives and the Brandt's served in Ethiopia for years and years together. They and Howie are always spoken of very highly. What a legacy of servanthood they have left. I'm delighted that you had this occasion to visit together.

We have an elderly gentleman in our church (age 95) who is like Evelyn, full of rich stories from 60 years of missionary work in Africa. Howard B. and his late wife Ruth spent much of that time in Ethiopia, and I wouldn't be surprised if Evelyn knew them. There is something really special about missionaries from that era - they truly gave up everything to go to far lands, unable to communicate or travel back home easily. I love the picture of little Howie preaching! What a legacy.Elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623369583990282441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-52655989561464390792009-09-24T09:17:58.667-07:002009-09-24T09:17:58.667-07:00Julie, Albert Brandt was one of my husband's f...Julie, Albert Brandt was one of my husband's favorite speakers when he used to come back from the mission field to speak at our church. His wife is a very sweet lady and I'm so glad you could meet her. As someone already said, I'm sure she was very blessed with your visit too. I will need to pick up a copy of that book as well.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-11384991830120870222009-09-24T07:18:21.467-07:002009-09-24T07:18:21.467-07:00Wow.

Thank you for the glimpse into a life that I would have otherwise missed until I got to heaven. <br /><br />So many Godly books are published in the Abbotsford area.
