Hannah and Jenny Schwaderer
Foreign missions is a huge part of the Schwaderers' life. Hannah and Jenny Schwaderer are "missionary kids" whose parents have been serving in the Canary Islands since 2007. These Spanish-speaking islands are located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwestern coast of Africa. Their older brother is a missionary to Mozambique.
During their time at Fairhaven, the Schwaderers have assisted in local nursing homes and the bus ministry in Michigan City. College chapel has been a special time of challenge and growth in their lives. The strong preaching that is delivered there has enabled them to make solid commitments spiritually. "The Lord wants to do more with us than we are capable of doing ourselves, and when we get to this place, we recognize that God must do the work."
Both Hannah and Jenny are engaged to be married next summer. Hannah's future husband has a pilot's license and desires to be a missionary pilot for the country of Papua New Guinea. Jenny's future husband also will be graduating from Fairhaven Baptist College and desires to serve the Lord in full-time service.
Hannah and Jenny will be graduating from Fairhaven this coming spring and both of them will be getting married in a "double wedding" ceremony next July when their parents are home on furlough. Hannah (secretarial) and Jenny (secondary education) have different majors and will probably end up at two different locations, but they share one desire, which is to serve God with their whole heart for all of their life.
