Another Day in the HR Department

On Thursdays, Karen comes in to help me with HR tasks, handle the phones, and manage the MMS mailing list. It's a real blessing to be able to serve together at MMS.

On the HR side, Karen writes thank you notes to general donors, tracks giving to general operations, processes new partnership pledges for approved candidates raising support to begin service, writes letters, assembles and mails information packets for prospective candidates, makes photocopies and generally makes my life easier at MMS as well as at home!

Karen at her work station processing a stack of about 100 address changes on envelopes returned from the latest MMS GroundCrew mailing.

Karen assembles five program information packets for people who are interested in learning more about our ministry.

The Toner Guy

And yes, the Director of Human Resources is also the "Toner Guy" when it comes to our high-tech copier. MMS' old copier only required three steps to replace the toner cartridge. This new copier/scanner/fax hub requires sixteen steps (though if I study the instructions hard enough, I can learn French, Spanish, German, and Chinese and Japanese in the process). Progress doesn't always make things simpler...

Hi Keith and Karen,
We are enjoying reading your blog as well as your newsletters. It sounds like things are well there in (cold!!!) Ohio! It is so warm here in GV that I was hot walking in a long sleeve shirt today...weird Christmas weather. Josh and I continue to pray for your ministry. The new prayer cards are great too! We are doing well and looking forward to Christmas. We wanted to share the good news with you that we are expecting another baby in June. We are very excited but a little nervous at the prospect of going from one to two! Hope you are both well! Jana Huntsinger
