God at Work Among the Nations

December 28, 2022

We trust you had a special Christmas! Here’s a quick update on our lives and ministry… 50 Years We must be getting old. In September we attended Donna’s 50th high school reunion, then Bill’s 50th reunion followed in October! Global Forum In November we were blessed to attend an international conference in Thailand with nearly […]

God Works Long Distance

October 11, 2021

Africa (w/out the Trip) If you’ve been following our recent saga, you know we weren’t able to actually go to Africa as planned. So we can’t call this an Africa Ministry Trip. But Bill was still able to do the ministry part. He pre-recorded his main introductory two-hour session last Sunday, once his cough was […]

When God has Different Plans

September 30, 2021

Thanks to all who prayed. We believe God heard your prayers and answered in an unexpected way. Sick! We were packed and ready. Our Uber to the airport was booked for 3:30 a.m. But Bill had a cough and other chest cold symptoms all through the night. It was worse in the morning. Then it […]

Talk is not Cheap

March 7, 2021

Talking is Important. Missionaries need to talk… fluently! They have an important message to communicate. And it takes years of hard work to gain that fluency. That’s why Bill and his team are developing the updated Engage culture/language acquisition (CLA) how-to materials, and the Stages CLA app. We want to make the task easier by […]

Fire & Ice

January 16, 2020

Tomorrow, Bill is heading to our training center in Missouri where they teach our missionaries how to learn the language and culture of Unreached People Groups. He will take 3 days to update the staff there on the latest version of the CLA (Culture/Language Acquisition) program his team is developing. He’ll also be meeting with […]

Hearts

August 28, 2019

Our Heart for Asia In June, Bill was invited back to Asia and spent a week there, teaching some local missionaries with a local mission agency about how to better learn language and culture. This was a follow-up to our trip last year. This time, Bill was able to provide some training for 10 missionaries, […]

Airborne with Airborne

February 9, 2018

Our recent ministry trip to the Asia Pacific region was a great success. And we did not experience any missed flights or delays like we did going to Mexico in November. Now, our travel companions as we were locked inside a metal tube hurtling through the stratosphere… that’s another story. It is flu season–and […]

Oh, 9,000, Give or Take…

January 5, 2018

More numbers… This time the number is the approximate number of miles from San Diego to our destination in the Asia Pacific region. 9,000 miles–that’s a long trip. We leave tomorrow afternoon, Friday January 5th. We should reach our destination country after 9,000 miles and (Lord willing) 28 hours of flying, terminal hopping, and carry-on […]

3 + 1 + 2 = 46

December 28, 2017

As 2017 draws to a close, we want to express our gratitude to God for his faithfulness! 2017 began with Bill barely able to walk across a room (injury). The year ended with him going up and down stairs in Chihuahua Mexico (recovery!) And lot of great things happened in between. While in Chihuahua, Bill […]

Say What?

September 11, 2017

Everyone Needs to Hear! We say this often. It’s our passion. This is what missions is all about: The unreached need to be reached with the Gospel. They need to hear the message of Christ.. and we believe they deserve to hear it in their heart language. What Does “Hear” Really Mean? If they misunderstand […]
