Edith and Marc Millen

In 1997, Marc and Edith Millen, previously in the circuit work in Belgium, came far away from home to strengthen the brothers. Like all new missionaries, the Millens had to learn the language, a challenge sometimes with very amusing results. Brother Millen recalls that he was trying to say that a Christian must not be like a soldier who hides in a trench (buracu) and, instead, he said not to be like a soldier who hides in a donkey (buricu)! In spite of the challenges, Marc and Edith persevered. Becoming proficient in the language, they now serve the Dutch and Papiamento congregations with joy.
