Jordon Brill ('09)

Jordon's working in Watertown at KD Interactive. It will be great to have him right here!

Matt Evon ('09)

Matt is now at Ft. Knox, KY at the ROTC Leader's Training Course. He says, "I am working on the S1 Administration Staff, and I absolutely love it. My official job title is OIC (officer in charge) of Cadet Awards. Most of my job includes making sure the correct COL's signature is on each cadet's certificate when they graduate and making sure that each of the Drill SGTs are keeping tabs on the graduation requirements for each of their cadets. Lots of paperwork."

Matt seems to be well adjusted to the Army way: heavy use of acronyms! :^) I've included a picture of Matt's commission ceremony, here with Colonel Pitz in Maranatha's Heritage Room shortly after Commencement on May 9th.

Leyanne Oller ('04)

Leyanne's nephew, Ephraim David, was born on March 5 and joins her one year old niece Lydia. Leyanne said, "It is so much fun to watch them grow." Leyanne is one of the most faithful alumni to key in touch. Thank you!

She says: "It's hard to believe that it's been almost 10 years since I graduated from high school and five years since I graduated from Maranatha."

Jessica (Aucoin) Asire ('07)

On February 10, 2009, Jessica's husband, Matt, left for eight weeks of basic training for the US Coast Guard. Jessica wrote: "Our only way of communication during this time was by written letter. WOW! That was tough."

Matt graduated on April 3, and is now stationed on the USCGC (US Coast Guard Cutter) Sturgeon Bay. The Asires live at Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island, NY.

Jessica testified: "God really has been good to us. We did not have to search for a church! My church [in New Hampshire] supports missionaries in NYC. Pastor Matt Recker is the pastor of Heritage Baptist Church in Manhattan. We were so thankful that the Lord had this in place for us. I know so many people who move and spend weeks/months/years searching for the right church. Praise God for his provision in having one here for us already."
