About the Schielke's

God has blessed Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church by allowing us to proclaim His message to the Crossville community for three decades.  It seemed only fitting to celebrate our 30 year anniversary as a congregation by extending our outreach to include a mission family for adoption.  Little did we know God had also been working in the lives of another family to bring us together in His service.

Philip and Kerri Schielke are currently serving in the Kyrgyz Republic, a far cry from their home town of Houston, Texas.  Phil, born to a missionary family, was no stranger to the work abroad.  When he and Karri married and later decided it was time to expand their family they did so through foreign adoption.  Over a two year period they were blessed with three children, Jacob, Benjamin, and Esther.  Jacob, age 8, was born in Zaporizhzhya, Ukraine.  Ben and Esther, ages 7 and 5 respectfully, were adopted from Kursk, Russia.  Their family of five was now united to serve – but where? 

After attending Seminary, the Schielkes prepared for an 18 month vicarage in their current placement of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.  Here they have committed to learn Russian and further equip themselves for the service God has for them in the days ahead.  In the mean time, their work will offer a service to us in Middle Tennessee as well by providing a reminder of the reason we are here – spreading the “Good News” of a risen Savior.

The Latest News
 

Hello to all from Kyrgyzstan!

We are a little late in getting this newsletter out due to our week long vacation to St. Petersburg, RU last week. The trip went well and we are now safely returned home. Thank you to all for your prayers and support.

We have updated our website with a new photo page that has our photos divided into albums and the newest one is of St. Petersburg pictures! We have also been using a new program to create this month's newsletter. We hope you all enjoy.

Blessings from Bishkek,

Schielkes
