The Next Generation Of Builders: Isabella

I love it when I see young people step into the missions call that God has placed upon their lives, but nothing is quite like seeing that take place in the lives of your own children and grandchildren. This is one of those moments for the Wellborn family.

Here is a photo of my granddaughter Isabella (above in the green cape), who along with her mom Michelle, led an outreach team to Neuquen, Argentina this week!

Bella gives out witnessing bracelets she has made out of rubber bands—she made 80 to witness with during the outreach.

I am so excited to hear the reports!

On The Road: Legendary Builders

During the AG100 Celebration I met up with old friend and missionary legend Huldah Buntain (above). I had the opportunity to work with her on two separate Ambassadors in Mission trips to Calcutta, India. She ministered in Calcutta side-by-side with husband Mark.

In 1954 the couple agreed to travel to India and serve in Calcutta for one year. That year turned into a lifetime of service to the people of Calcutta and its surrounding communities. Together, they established a holistic inner-city outreach consisting of more than 100 schools, over 700 churches, a daily feeding program for 25,000, and a full general hospital that has treated more than two million people and provided free care to 880,000.

That work continued even after her husband’s death in 1989.

In 2005, Huldah, along with her daughter, Bonnie, and her brother-in-law, Fulton Buntain, founded Calcutta Mercy Ministries so that the work in India will continue to receive support and international volunteers participation.
