Linda and her husband live in Atlanta, Illinois. Linda and Mitch served on the mission fields for nearly a decade in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. They had plans to return to the mission field, but on two separate occasions, God literally closed the door on us from returning. One day, she was walking and praying and asked the Lord, “What do you do with your life when you’ve done what you love and can’t do it anymore?”  She felt so clearly the Lord spoke to her heart and said, “It’s not where you are; it is who you are. 

It doesn’t matter how many oxcarts in India that you have ridden in (and she had ridden quite a few) if you won’t go down the street and witness to your neighbor.” That settled it for her. She didn’t need to be “anywhere, “to be a missionary, it was an attitude of her heart. Linda’s delight in life is being a mother and grandmother, and she says everything else she does is an overflow of that. Her favorite hobbies are gardening, writing, mentoring young women, and serving as a Sunday school teacher.
