Meet the Felgenhauers

Stefan & Kathy Felgenhauer with their children Louisa, Ana & Benjamin

Stefan Felgenhauer has recently been hired to serve WELS Missions in Africa as the Director of Operations for One Africa Team. Stefan and his wife Kathy have lived in Malawi previously and served WELS through the Kingdom Workers organization. Listen to Stefan as he (re)introduces himself in this week’s post:

Felgs on the move…..this has become our theme. We’re about to move to Africa for the 3^rd time and we couldn’t be more excited! My wife and I met in Bali, Indonesia, got married in New Ulm, MN and lived in Germany, Canada, the USA and in Malawi (twice). When we sat down to think about it we realize we’ve never lived in the same house for more than 2 years. Currently we live in Kansas and it’s true that we there is “no place like home” – we are in this world but not of it and heaven will be where we completely settle down for eternity.

All Glory, Laud and Honor!

No one had to tell the crowd to be exuberant with praise. They just were. (Luke 19:37-38)

No one had to convince the people to shout. They just did. (John 12:13)

No one had to force them to make a welcome carpet out of their clothes. They just had to. (Luke 19:36)

You can no more prevent a song gushing up from the depths of a heart than you can stop Old Faithful from erupting from the deep of the earth. Continue reading “All Glory, Laud and Honor!”

Prayer request for Yvonne Janosek

Prayers are requested on behalf of Yvonne Janosek, who suffered a stroke on Thursday. Yvonne and her husband John served the WELS mission in Malawi for for decades.

The following is an update from her daughter, Alex:
He is risen indeed!

Mom has been moved to the Progressive Care Unit now. It means she doesn’t need the intensity of care they provide in ICU. The doctor is surprised that she is doing as well as she is, considering the extent of the damage to the left hemisphere of her brain.

I believe that she recognizes us though – both our voices and names. At least, when I brought Eleora to her room yesterday and told her, “Look. Eleora is here.” She moved her eyes to look at Eleora immediately. I suppose that could be her looking to see who Eleora was and not recognizing her. It’s hard to tell as she can’t talk or smile. She can show pain or discomfort though, and is getting better control over her left side of her body. Well, it appears so to these untrained eyes.

I wish you a blessed Easter!

Alex.

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation. ” – Isaiah 12:2
