Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Through circumstances beyond our control, our family found ourselves in the Philippines in 1985. As a part of that circumstance we were going to have to share a house with another family, whom we did not know. The family was the Balitons, Mel and Ruth and at that time Willy was still living at home. How would this work Two families, two different cultural backgrounds, and one house Even people of the same cultural background have trouble living in the same place, but here we were, sowe were prepared to make the best of it until our visas could be straightened out for South Korea.

It was my privilege to have a very small part of that at the side of my friend and brother Mel Baliton. As I am sure you will see as his story unfolds, there is a kind firmness in all that Mel does. Once he knows what God wants, thats it then. I have heard him say that often when he was sure of something. There will be good humor and kindness for the human weakness of others, but once the path is known, the path is not strayed from, and Ruth will be right beside him all the way. If you dont know my friend Mel, you will be blessed by his life. If you do know him, you already have been. Dr. John H. Connor Pacific Area Director Global Partners.…
