Lee and Marcia (Baker) Hovingh
Now here is a couple that few have seen in many years. Brother Lee Hovingh is from Michigan and is a Dutchman, obviously. Sister Marcia (Baker) Hovingh is from Lander, Wyoming, of all places, and these two birds have been serving together as missionary types out in East Africa someplace since 1976. I think Lee is the principle of some school out there, and it wouldn't surprise me none if they were all in rebellion and holding Lee and Marcia hostage. Anyway, if you look at a mug shot of old Lee in the Moody 66 Yearbook, he looks quite young. He had a burr cut on that mug back in those days. This picture was taken this past summer, probably over there on that Indian Ocean. They look like they are having too much fun over there, and I thought missionary types were mad all the time because they didn't live in America where they could get a big Christmas haul like the rest of us.
Now I would crack on Lee pretty good if I knew him well enough and had some stories to tell, but Lee was a pretty serious type of guy at Moody, as I recall, and I don't think he stayed up all night like the heathens I hung out with. I think I used to see him bent over in prayer supplicating for the foreign fields in the Missionary Union Prayer Bands as I was running by the door being chased by a herd of Smith Dorm heathens trying to give me a pink belly. He is one of those many guys at Moody that you just have to say, "He is a good man."
You can reach Lee and Marcia, who would probably love to have some missionary support - and I don't mean thinking precious thoughts of them - but probably would not want me to tell you that. If I didn't have all these Calvinists to support, I would help them myself because the Moody people I trust. And, of course, I saw these heretics operate at Moody when they were green and on the verge of greatness. Lee will probably become a Calvinist after reading this, and then I will have to get him on my list. So many Moody missionaries, so little money.
