Helen Jean (Moose) Zwyghuizen was called to work with the Chinese and arrived in China in 1949, working with university students and Bible clubs which were called Sunday Schools.  Because of the war, she had to leave China and along with many missionaries was able to get out safely.

  Helen Jean returned home for a much needed rest.  A year later she went to  help a missionary couple with the Chinese in Djakarta, Indonesia.  Her work was with young people, ladies and Sunday School.  The war moved into Indonesia, ten years later, and again the Lord enabled her to leave safely.

  Helen Jean then went to work with the Chinese in Canada, and later to Hawaii. After that she worked in Baptist Mid-Missions home office with Time, TEE and helped in other areas.  While there she became interested in Missionary Acres, picking out a future lot and planning her retirement home.  Then 1984 came, she had worked full time for 40 years and she moved to her newly built home at Missionary Acres.

  She spent 10 more years working at the Mountain Park Baptist Academy as a ministry to teach music, piano, organ and some drama.  She also helped set up the church library, Sunday School, and helped with the ladies work and ladies prayer meeting in her home.

  Helen Jean Moose  married Pastor Hilbert Zwyghuizen, and they continued to live at Missionary Acres.  Hilbert is now home with his Lord and Savior.

  Helen Jean has a newly published book of her work with the Chinese,

Daily Choices For Christ.
