Bob & Rhonda Thomas

	Bob became a Christian at nine years of age. God called him into the ministry as a teenager. He met Rhonda in high school and after being "just friends" they fell in love and were married in 1987 since then they have continued to simply obey God in doing the very next thing He calls them to do. This has led Bob & Rhonda to serve as Youth Pastor and also as Senior Pastor at Cadillac Assembly of God. He has also enjoyed serving on the Michigan District Missions Committee and the District Presbytery.
	Rhonda's passion for the Lord is evident to all who know her. She has always been a world minded Christian who was committed to World Missions even as a teenager. She is a great mom who loves to spend time helping out at the kids school and wherever there is a need she helps in ministry. Rhonda is excited about the new ministry in Africa and getting to know the people of Ethiopia.
	Bethany loves purple, playing piano, puppies, pizza & people. (Not necessarily in that order) Bethany is excited about our new adventure in Africa. It is hard to leave family and friends behind but Bethany understands that obeying God's call is the very best way to live her life!
	Bobby is a bundle of energy. One of his main goals in life is to get Dad to buy him a "dirt bike"! (He asks four or five times a day) It is highly unlikely that this will happen any time soon! A boy can dream! Bobby is excited about going to Africa and was glad he got a chance to fly in his first airplane this year. Practice for when we move to Ethiopia.
