When the dust bowl happened and Jake was 12 years old his Dad sold out ant they headed for California. They took an extended trip visiting relatives along the way. They eventually arrived in North Hollywood where Jake attended the Van Nuys high School.. He was active in his youth group in the Van Nuys Missionary Church and he excelled in athletics especially football where he received a couple of scholarships to play football for USC and San Jose State. However his life turned around at a youth meeting in his church and he prepared for a Bible School where he could get ready for the Lord’s work. The Missionary church had a Bible School in Ft. Wayne, IN, so he and 3 others fellows headed there.
Ruth was born in Highland Park, MI. a suburb of Detroit. Her Dad had immigrated to the USA from Cornwall England. He found a job in Fords plant. When the depression hit, he was out of a job and so he had to take his family to relatives in the country on a farm outside of Port Huron until he could find work When he found work he moved his family back to Royal Oak, MI. where Ruth attended the Royal Oak High School. During that time Ruth attended a Methodist camp meeting and there gave her heart to Jesus and had a real open heart for foreign missions. So upon graduation she was headed for a Bible School to get ready for that calling. She also was active in a youth group in a Missionary church in Royal Oak and heard about the Bible Institute in Ft. Wayne. So she prepared to go there.
Thus California met Michigan and joined in a life serving the Lord in Overseas Missions.ver menos
