Dear
Hulse Family
I
have had the incredible privilege of sending updates on the project to over 150
people. What began as a list of about 25 personal friends has grown to a
huge list that now requires I send it in 2 groups. Some of these people
have never met you, have never been to Estonia, and for that matter don't know
ANYONE who HAS been there (except for my friends and family who know Chris
Jost). Some of them are just personal friends of mine - some don't even
know me. I know there are even some on this list who don't go to church
and for that matter, have never made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ -
they don't profess to serve Him as their Lord and Savior. But we have all
supported this ministry in prayer and/or financially. And, I believe, we
all see that this tower is truly being done by God's hand - and we have been
able to see God working in the lives of many people already because of this
project.
MOST
of what we know now about the project is because you were willing to keep us
informed. More importantly, you were willing to stay - at your own
personal sacrifice - and see that the job got done. And so now, we want
to THANK YOU and just show you a tiny amount of the appreciation we have for
YOU - JIM, CONNIE,
COREY, CHRIS,
AND CAYLA!!!
Thank
you for ALL that you have done!! And WELCOME
HOME!!!

Jim,
Connie, Cory, Boo, and Cayla
Thanks for all of the hard work that you all have done for the Lord this
summer. Definitely without all of you, the tower would still be laying on
the ground....and probably not on Estonian ground, but still in the US.
May God bless you as you come home and adjust to life back home.
Love, hugs, and prayers

Dear Jim, Connie, and family,
We from Texas send our thanks and
our prayer for all of your work
and success in Kavastu. Lynda has kept us up to date. It is exciting to
know that the antenna work is completed, many people contacts have been
made and you are able to return home. We had a slide show at our church
last night, showing our work and mission experience. I think they even have
an idea how a "Jim" pole works. Hope our paths will cross again. Kim
is
back in the saddle and doing fine. Love, from the Texas team. Kit

Dear
Connie and Jim and family,
I enjoyed every minute working with you all this summer. You were a
blessing
to me. I can't even imagine how big your heart is for God to do what you
do,
and what you did in Estonia. Anybody from Indiana has got to be OK. May
God
richly bless you and maybe some day we will cross paths again on this
earth.
To Him Who is Able,
Luci Schenk

Dear Jim and Connie and family...Tom, Too:
We are so very grateful for all you have done in
Estonia. We feel Estonia is part of our lives now after eight years of
ministering there. ( Is cooking ministering???) We know that the
Lord is going to bless this work abundantly, as he has the other work that has
been done there. We are encouraged that you are now with Jim, Connie as I
remember a lonely guy way back when!!! He only worked and ate and
slept....what's new??? It was good to meet your family, even if we didn't
spend much time together. Boo was a special blessing to me, as he worked
in the kitchen a little before you came and I got to know him better than Corey
and Cayla. Take care and we'll probably see you on the "Mission
Trail" along the way.
Thanks again for getting Woody
to the doctor. I love yawl for that!!!
Love, Woody and Rosie
P.S. Tom.....you'd better come home before
you make any big decisions!!!!!!!

Just a note to say GOD BLESS YOU for all you have done for the people of
Estonia and for being obedient to GOD'S calling. We appreciate ALL you
have
done and will continue to do!!!!
Love from home,
Cindy

Please include our comments to Jim, Connie, and Family...
Dear Jim, Connie, and Family...
One of the highpoints of our lives was working alongside you in the
Lord's work this summer! As you know, for me (Larry) it was a dream come
true, as from an early age God has given me a heart for foreign missions.
To hear Jim tell the stories of what God has done in and thru him was an
experience I will never forget, and I pray that God will give you many, many
more years to serve Him in such a wonderful way reaching the unsaved and
building up Christians via radio. What a ministry! Thanks for
your hospitality, for the special food items, for the Certificates....for so
many things and you willingness to serve Him...in whatever capacity and
anywhere He leads. Thank you for being such an inspiration! Don't
forget to look us up when you are in Denver.
Our love always,
Larry, Marilyn, and Emily McQuinn
Denver, CO

Dear
Hulse Family,
'Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again:Rejoice!'
Philippians 4:4
It has been a pleasure to read all that you have shared about the work that the
Lord has been able to do in Estonia through you his servants.
Thank You for being where God planned for you to be to reach the Estonia people
for him.
May the Lord continue to bless you as you head back to your home state. May
this time be a refreshing time for your soul.
Praying for you.
In Christian Love,
Tami

the hulse family is one the most unique and special families imaginable. the
heart that they have for the spiritual and physical needs of others is
absolutely a gift from God that blesses them and everyone they come in
contact with. meeting them, getting to know them, even for such a short time
in estonia, is counted as one of the privileges of our lives. we left that
wonderful country with a better understanding of Christianity, the Lord's
work, human relations and just plain old hard work. what a special, special
joy jim, connie, corey, boo and cayla are to so many, many people. we pray
that they have God's blessings in all they do for many years to come.

-Dear
Jim and Connie: It has been a privilege to
follow your adventures with God in Estonia. I am also
grateful that He has now provided a way for you to
return to family and friends here in America. You
have earned a time to relax and let God's people serve
you a bit. I am trusting that our Lord will refresh
and nurture you during your respite. I am praying for
a safe journey for you. May you look back on your
time in Estonia with awe at the many ways God revealed
Himself to you and through you. Sincerely in Christ,
Pamela LaChapell

Dear
Jim and family,
I hope you will remember me. I was there with Carlson and the first crew
from Modesto. I'm kindof a big guy and have a brother (John Pyle) who was
there with me. We went out to dinner with Inga and Boo at the Atlantis
restaurant one evening while we were there. John and I were only able to
stay two weeks but you have been in our prayers ever since.
I can't imagine that you have been there this whole time. The Lord bless
you for all the wonderful work you people have done. What a wonderful
sacrifice you have made in the name of our Lord Jesus. We all appreciate
you so much.
Also my thanks to Tom Garrels for all he has done there. I understand he
quit his job to be able to stay there. I consider him a good friend
although I don't get to see him that often here in Modesto.
I have rejoiced and prayed with you all as I have been getting the all
emails that have been forwarded from Lynda.
I'm glad you get to finally come home and I hope you will get some time
off to relax for a while. You have earned it!
One of the greatest things I read was the story of the TV program. That
was awesome!
Only one more thing to say.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Your brother in Christ,
Bob Pyle

I
can't imagine the sacrifice one would make in order to pack up their entire
family and go live in a foreign country for an uncertain amount of time.
I know that's what missionaries do and I am just so thankful there are those of
you who are willing to do this. I pray God RICHLY blesses you - and I
know He does - for your obedience to him.
Thank
you for sending me regular updates so I could pass them on to those who want to
pray for you. Please keep me updated on future expeditions so I can
continue to pray for you.
And
when we get to heaven, please come introduce yourselves so I can hug your necks
and sit and visit a spell. I don't know that we'll ever get to do that
this side but we sure will get to over there - and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

serving our LORD!!

Dear Jim and Connie:
Just a quick one to thank you once again for all you accomplished in
Estonia. It was nothing short of miraculous and you folks are truly great
examples of Christian workers and witnesses.
Hope your trip home was smooth and you were able to get some well-deserved
rest. Congratulations and please keep in touch.
All the best.
Jack Trollman

Jim, Connie and family
I am on the mailing list that gets the Updates from Lynda Jost and
have been inspired by your dedication to our Father in heaven. I
know your willingness to work for Jesus in building this radio tower
will be rewarded by Him. Thank you so much for the part you have
had in this work and seeing it through to the completion.
I appreciate the sacrifices you and your family must have made, but I know they
pale in comparison to the reward - both now, and to come.
Jesus is coming SOON - what could we do that is any more important?
Though I could not go, I have prayed. I'll continue to pray for the seeds
that have been planted... God bless you. Donna Monroe
