Testimony Milestones “We have grown up together through marriage and in following Christ. We have always seen Him as the Head of our family. Jesus is the third strand in the Kroeger cord. Our story is His story” - Nancy Kroeger - E dith Schaeffer’s writings and talks have had a great influence on me. Her book, “The Hidden Art of Homemaking” (Tyndale Publishing, 1985) led me to use creativity in establishing our home, but also in food, hospitality and in raising children. Edith Schaeffer once spoke on being able to see the blessings of God, we have to look back in our lives and see the milestones we have passed. So here are a few of ours. A recent discussion between family members proved that, since 9 September 1972, the Kroeger’s have moved twenty-five times. Some places were exotic for us, like Belgium and Paris. And some pretty mundane, like Kansas. But in moving to Australia in 1986, we lived knowing that a Sovereign Lord was guiding us, proceeding before us and had a plan for our lives as His servants in ministry. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. Page 21
