New Friends

Amy and I had the privilege of hosting Billy & Joanna coppedge this last weekend in our home. Billy and Joanna are missionaries preparing to go back to Uganda. they were in town for our church's world mission celebration, along with eight other missionaries.

Below is an article about them from their supporting organization's web site...World Gospel Mission

"Billy and Joanna reside in Jackson, Mississippi, where they both attend Wesley Biblical Seminary. Prior to their current studies, Billy and Joanna both graduated from Asbury College (Kentucky). Billy graduated with a B.A. in history while Joanna earned her B.A. in psychology.

In terms of missionary experience, Billy participated on Task Forces to Uganda and Kenya and also served as a Volunteer In Action with WGM. Joanna participated on a Task Force to Bolivia before serving as a VIA in Hungary during the summer of 2000. Following her VIA experience, Joanna served as WGM’s VIA coordinator for two years. She also served on a Task Force to Uganda in July 2002. Billy and Joanna will be available for missionary service in the summer of 2006."






It was an absolute pleasure to meet and spend time with Billy and Joanna. We miss them already.
