At the age of 14 on a trip with the teen choir of the mainline church she was attending to New York City’s Madison Square Garden to hear Dr. Billy Graham speak, Edna received Christ as her Savior. She began to attend a C&MA church plant in Pearl River and it was there she committed her life to serving in full time ministry and also where she met the man who would later become her husband.

Edna married Jerry Mapstone and one year later graduated from Nyack College. She started her teaching career and has taught Kindergarten, First and Second Grades and Jr. High Special Ed and has substituted in a myriad of other subjects throughout the years including art and music.

When in 1998 the needs of family made it clear they must return to the States, the Lord opened the door for pastoral ministry at First Alliance Church in Chattanooga, TN. Two years later Patty became a member of the Southern District AWM Team, first as Assistant Director, and for the past four years, as District Director.

God has blessed Patty and Lee with three children and six grandchildren.

Missions had always fascinated Merilyn. Her parents regularly prayed for and hosted international workers in their home. It was a household word. At the early age of 8 she knew that God had called her to serve him overseas. Merilyn attended Toccoa Falls college where she met her husband David Lauffer. After home service in Eastern PA, in 1988 they took their two small boys to serve the Lord Israel.

The Lauffer family had served 16 years in Israel when an illness prevented their return. The Lord redirected their steps to Saline, MI where they planted a church. In 2007 it was clear the Lord was again redirecting and David accepted the call to work at the National Office as Assistant Vice president over Europe, Africa and the Mid East.

Today Merilyn and her family are living in Colorado Springs. She is actively involved in women's ministries at North Springs Alliance Church and works part time at the Connection Center in the National Office. The Lauffers have four children: David (Danae); Daniel; Nathan and Leanne.
