Some have asked who is going to be taking my place at IBEX. The answer is Abner Chou. Abner was not an IBEX semester student, but has distinguished himself in so many other ways that I’m not going to try to count or list them. His wife, Johanna (Dobos) Chou, was an IBEX student some years ago and brings a knowledge of Israel and a servant’s heart to the school. I think Abner will do a great job, and I only regret that I won’t be able to work alongside him. But if the Lord tarries, I predict that one day I’ll have the opportunity. One curious fact: we both began/are beginning teaching at IBEX at the age of 24. Abner, however, has more education than I did at that age, or do now. May the Lord greatly bless Abner and Johanna!
Todd and Abner on Arbel
Todd-I’d love to have your personal blog so I can keep up with you (I love reading your blog(s) though I rarely comment). Glad to hear that the move went smoothly, and I pray that your hearts will catch up eventually. It’s hard to move from a place so wonderful and think that anything will compare. You and your family are on my mind and in my prayers. Sara
Hey Todd-
Random question for you: Did Johanna ever live in Vienna, Austria? She probably wouldn’t remember me but I think I may have gone to school with someone of the same name.
Also, I’m glad your first Sunday in Dallas was a positive one. Looking for a church can be discouraging at times. I’m praying for you and your family!
