After 19 years of ministry in Konyak Baptist Church Association, my husband and I decided to pursue further study because, as Church leaders, we needed more knowledge of the Word of God to feed His people. Therefore, my husband requested that our church grant us a study leave with sponsorship. They did not grant sponsorship, but they granted study leave with half of his salary. This meant we could not afford to take our children with us, so my husband and I decided to leave our three daughters with my parents.
