Get to know the boyds:

• What is the most unique food you have experienced on the mission field?
• Jonathan - I would that eating ants would be my high point. They taste like crunchy chocolate.
• Holly - I like cayeye, which is like mashed pototes made from green bananas.

What is one of the greatest blessings?

• Jonathan - Seeing one of our men who came to Christ here preach or teach the Word of God in our church.
• Holly - To see how God uses his Word to cause people to grow in Christ.

What is one of your hobbies?

• Jonathan - I love studying languages. My focus in the last few years has been modern Hebrew.
• Holly - I like making crafts and designing memes; and also taking care of all of my pets.

What is your favorite brand or type of chocolate?

• Jonathan - I'm not sure.
• Holly - Reeses Pieces

What book (besides the Bible) would you recommend every Christian should read?

• Jonathan - This is a hard question. I think that many of Augustine's works are worthwhile. A starting point could be his Confessions or On Christian Doctrine.

What dream would you want to see accomplished on your particular mission field?

• To see the Colombia Baptist Seminary grow and continue to prepare many students for Christian service. To see the church we are currently serving in plant another church.

What do you miss most about the US?

• Our family

What verse has been impactful in your life?

• Holly - "This God-- his way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him." (2 Sam. 22:31 ESV)
