In 1994 Jack and Debbie traveled to Nepal to adopt Jacob. During a three-week stay, Jack trekked to Jacob's home village in the Himalayan Mountains to complete the necessary paperwork. Jack and Debbie praise God for His faithfulness in working out all the red tape to complete the adoption. They saw His intervention on a daily basis. From the day Jacob arrived in Indiana, Laura took on the responsibility of being his language teacher and cultural trainer. They continue to be best friends.
Jack and his family enjoy bike riding together and ride regularly during the summer. They hope to do some cross-country trips in future summers.
