A message from Paul & Jean.

Fall/Winter 2006
YEARS AGO, with Kevin and Vicki, newly married and Jean and I wondering if anybody would really find us on a dead-end road in a wildlife refuge, the Cowell family prepared for Whitestones first guests. You have participated with us in a wonderful decade of growth!

• 0 Rooms have become 21
• 2 Buildings have expanded to 6
  
• 75 acres have grown to 600
• 8 staff has become 57
• 0 Grandchildren changed to 4 and the 5th Is Due About The Time You Receive This Newsletter!

Even though we had 34 years of anticipation, the reality 10 years later is more satisfying and spiritually rewarding than we imagined. As the Cowell family has grown, so has the Whitestone family.  We are so thankful for our great staff members who have been here through the years, our wonderful guests who return time after time, and our delightful grandchildren and their parents that we get to see every day.

We could never express our gratitude for the life and mission we have been given.  And given is the correct word!  We could never have arrived here without Divine Providence!

Thank  you so much for helping us encourage  Missionaries with our Fifth Annual Missionary Getaway at the wonderful Elephant Hills Resort in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe (November 2-6).  We also appreciate your regular visits to Whitestone. Please come see us again soon!
