This
site is a simple one and has one main purpose; To give
you the opportunity to get acquainted with Jack and
Elana Sample
and family. Jack
has worked as a school teacher and principal in small Christian schools from
Oregon to Nebraska to Papua New Guinea. Elana
has had the greater work though as a stay at home mom raising our two awesome
kids, Corrie and Ray. Of course this work takes much less of our time now as
they have both flown the nest.
In 2002 the care of Jack's folks brought Jack home from teaching. Both parents
had Parkinson's and required full time care. Later in 2002 his dad passed away.
Then in June of 2005 his mother also passed away. This along with the fact that
Ray and Corrie had left home for college gave Elana and Jack the "empty nest"
syndrome.
Ray, our first born is now 24 and is developing a music ministry with his fine
tenor voice. In May of 2007 he married Crystal Benson and is now living in
Hermosa South Dakota at Black Hills Health and Education Center where he is
taking the Massage Therepy training to support his music ministry.

Corrie, at 22 years of age, is currently with us in South Dakota and plans to
work as an EMT until September, when she will be attending Wildwood's College
of Medical Ministry in Georgia.
http://www.collegeofmedicalministry.com/ As
a family we have served overseas in Pohnpei, Micronesia and Papua New Guinea and Elana
spent the first 12 years of her life in Indonesia so we have a bit of
International flavor in the home.
Currently Elana and I are volunteering at Black Hills Health and Education
center. My work centers around marketing the center and Elana is working
in various capacities. I am also continuing my Internet business to support the
family and supporting Mission Support Aviation by managing their web presence.
