The Janecke's
Bill, Heidi, Holly, & David
The Janecke's have been serving in Bolivia since January 2001. Prior to that, they lived in Kenosha, Wisconsin where Bill was in private Veterinary Practice for 13 years. Bill now serves as Veterinary Support Coordinator for World Concern - Bolivia. Heidi works with Talita Cumi Children's home. Holly, 18, is a freshman at Iowa State University. David, 17, attends Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center, is a fine guitar player, and helps lead worship at school and church.
World Concern - Bolivia
"Sharing Christ's Love
in Word & Deed"
Bill works with World Concern serving poor rural Bolivian families whose survival is linked to what they can produce with little land and very limited resources. World Concern provides training, technical assistance, and spiritual strengthening to these families as they work to improve the production of their small farms and seek strength, guidance, and perseverance through relationships with Jesus Christ.
Bill is also providing guidance and support to the development of VetRed, a project that is reaching out to Latin American veterinarians and students, sharing with them the God News of Jesus Christ, encouraging discipleship and the formation of Christ-centered fellowships throughout latin America, and equiping and mobilizing them to reach out to others through their profession.

Talita Cumi
Children's Home
"God's Little Ones"
Talita Cumi is home to about 30 abandon, abused or orphaned children ranging in age from 6 to 16. "Talita Cumi" from Mark 5:41, means "Child arise!" It appropriately sums up the strength and spirit of confidence and restoration the kids find in this loving, Christ-centered environment. Heidi is a board member and active in fund raising projects for the home. "Tia (aunt) Heidi", as the kids call her, is a daily witnesses of Christ's love to these great kids.

5/25/2011Just wondering, do you give the animal husbandry training to the kids about to "graduate" from the orphanage? I was thinking they could probably use the info so they would have a source of food/income when they are out on their own...LouAnn Kokan-Post

12/27/2010Thanks for your Christmas card. I know it is different weather in December for you. We just received 12 inches of snow on Christmas Day. Talk about white Christmas. All is well and we even spent alot a family time together. Brad just left to drive back to Minneapolis and Becky is living about a mile from our home. She is trying to get a teaching job so she can stay in Kenosha. Love to hear from you and can't wait to see you next Christmas. Happy Holidays. Mark, Sue, Brad and Becky Wilson
10/8/2010Heidi and Bill - Thank-you for being such giving and loving representatives of our country and of the God you serve so selflessly. I am so happy, too, that your children are finding the same satisfaction in serving others. Betty Schripsema
