I look forward to seeing both of them again when the Lord returns. On the mission field SEAM use local people. That shields the work from much of the political difficulties other organizations encounter. There is no need to evacuate missionaries when they are already where they belong. No reason to train the missionary in the language, because they already speak the language and understand the culture.
SEAM still has to get outsiders in from time to time.
The newsletter covers one of those situations. I've a friend who worked in Zaire as a missionary. He left because his children were being discriminated against. Within two weeks of his departure, all the missionaries were evacuated, as reported on the news, because of politcial unrest. Presently, Dr. Madison Patrick is the president.
