From MKs Dear Mark and Dedria, I just wanted to say thank you for your ministry to MKs. Thank you also for what you have done for me and for having me with you in the home. Thank you for teaching me to drive, for showing me about changing a tire and showing me how to check the car fluids, thanking for talking and sharing and encouraging, thanks for providing a safe place, for taking time to hang out and have fun with me (watching a movie, playing ping pong, etc). I just want to encourage you by letting you know that you do make a difference. Thank you. Gratefully, Rebecca ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mark and Dedria, You have been such a blessing! Just want to say thanks again for letting me stay with you, for taking me to and picking me up from the airport, for caring about my life, talking, spending hours working on the Taurus (Mark), doing laundry (Dedria), feeding me (both of you!) and just for being available! I will definitely "advertise" you to my MK friends. Thanks again for your ministry to me. I’m so glad God has given you this vision and determination to minister to MKs. You will have many precious "kids" through your home. In Christ, Julie ------------------------------------------------------ I wanted to thank you all for your time and sincerity in making a difference in the lives of TCKs [Third-Culture Kids]. It was great to have you as mentors. Thank you so much. In the time that I spent with you I've learned more than I have in several years. I felt such a freedom to be open and real that I haven't felt in a long time. Thanks again. God bless. Your brother in Christ, John ------------------------------------------------------- From MK Parents Sending a son or daughter off to college in a "foreign country" is a challenge to any parent's faith! But discovering a "haven" such as Joseph House Ministries was a marvelous, unexpected blessing for our family when our first son was preparing to study in the US after growing up in Spain . We are so grateful to Mark and Dedria Tidwell for their ministry to our son (and our family!) through his first two years stateside. Besides helping him transition in many ways, providing him a safe, structured environment, and teaching him some invaluable skills, they enabled us to relax and pull through the crisis of our first child's leaving home with flying colors! We have thanked the Lord for them over and over! David & Susie Dixon Missionaries to Madrid, Spain ----------------------------------------------------- We want you to know how grateful we are for your commitment to MKs. The best testimony of what you are doing is seeing Russell and Jen relaxed and at home with you. It was wonderful working with you and seeing how you function and plan and care for MKs. You are in our prayers. Bob & Marcia Arnold MK Parents & Missionaries Benin ------------------------------------------------------- We were able to feel at ease with our kids in your place. We especially enjoyed watching them want to tell you everything because they knew they had listening ears. Jonathan & Bonnie Moore Missionaries to Niger ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From MK Caregivers Mark and Dedria are well-suited to running a home for AMKs. Their vision and experience, their personalities, and their commitment to missions and MKs contribute to their effectiveness in working with MKs under their care. David Wickstrom PhD, Psychologist, AMK, Mission Consultant & MK Caregiver ------------------------------------------------------- From a Local Pastor Please consider this as a letter of recommendation of the ministry of Mark and Dedria Tidwell. We were involved together in a church Life Group (Home Group) that met on a regular basis for prayer and Bible Study so I can refer them to you without hesitation. Their ministry and lives are a blessing to many and they are well-respected. You will find them to be a loving and Christ-like couple. Pastor Jeffrey T. Park
