Angeles while his wife (Elizabeth) is preparing to join him. The job offer was rather sudden and unexpected, but somehow his
resume reached the GM in Los Angeles and he got the job! They have never lived outside of Ohio before, but the adjustment to
the California lifestyle has been great!
Class of 1985
Rev. Christopher Wade, his wife Renee Dean Wade and their six children: Kelsey, 16; Jeremy, 14; Isaac, 12; Micah, 10;
Simon, 8; and Noah, 7 returned to the US in June after serving their first missionary term in Croatia. They will be stateside for
a one year furlough. They were the first AG Missionaries on the field in Croatia since the war ended. The Wade’s resided in Osijek
on the far East side of the country by the Serbian and Hungarian borders. They succeeded in building relationships with the
National Church and were able to encourage the pastors, give leadership training as well as marriage counseling and taught the
Croatian kids how to play American baseball during the summer and American football in the winter. They helped to build a
multi-purpose Youth Club to help get the teenagers off the streets and provide a safe environment to hang out but also to be fed
the love of Jesus Christ. It was a very difficult three years in a new culture, with a new language, and in a place full of war-torn
depression and resentment towards strangers. However, the family stayed strong by the grace of God. Only fruit can come
from the seeds that have been planted.
