My British sister, Betty Jo, visited us again in November. We decided to take a trip to Zurich. One notable thing about the city was how "open" they are with their advertisements, especially concerning the sex industry. This was the first time I had experienced this type of exposure with the kids. We were looking for a place to get some ice cream and their little eyes were looking in every direction. It was difficult to steer them away from some very large poster advertisements. Finally; I just told them they were "medical posters" and we started looking for a park.
The most interesting thing about the experience, was a conversation with other staff at BFA the next week. One co-worker told me her senior daughter was in Zurich that week with another group and they were evangelizing in the "red light district, at night". These students go on missions every spring to places in Africa, Asia, and Europe. They also go on short trip missions during the school year. These students are getting a first rate education that is not only academic, but also experiential. They are raised up and equipped to live in this world without being devoured by this world. They grow in strength together and desire to show the love of Christ to every nation. I don't know where else in the world that this happens, but it touches my heart when I think that God has allowed our family to be a part of it.
We love you and miss you,
Loving and Serving Christ,
The Pogson Family
