If At First You Don’t Succeed…

January 4, 2023

…Try, Try Again We appreciate your prayers. The cardioversion was done without incident… but also without success. After the maximum number of 3 jolts, Bill’s heart was still in AFib (out of rhythm). He will see his doctor soon to discuss what options to try next. Stay tuned. Thanks so much for for standing with […]

They Come in Threes

January 3, 2023

Medical Concerns We have three health concerns that have come up recently that we’d like to ask you to pray with us about… The Heart of the Matter About two and a half weeks ago Bill’s heart went out back of its normal rhythm into AFib (atrial fibrillation). So his cardiologist ordered a procedure called […]

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!

Bones, Kids and Skin

June 29, 2022

Here is a quick update so you can be praising and praying with us… Bones: Bill’s Knee It took a couple months, but Bill was able to see a rheumatologist. A mere 4 hours (yes, FOUR HOURS) after the first dose of prednisone, the PAIN WAS GONE! The doctor has already almost completely weaned Bill […]

Update on Donna

May 5, 2022

Successful Surgery Thank you all for praying! Donna’s surgery, under local anesthetic, was done quickly and without incident. She’s home now, resting while I pamper her. Now we wait… The doctor said it might be up to 11 business days before we get the biopsy results. Then we’ll know if they need to cut out […]

Sometimes an apple a day isn’t enough, and this is one of those times. We would appreciate your prayers. Skin and Bones… No, we haven’t gotten skinny (too bad!) But we do have some health concerns involving skin and bones. Donna… A routine annual dermatology exam about three weeks ago found an unusual mole on […]

Lini’s Surgery

January 7, 2022

Success! Lini had her surgery and it was a success and she’s already feeling better and able to walk a bit. Thanks for praying! We learned that she was taken to the better of the two hospitals in the town of Brookes Point. So she’s at the Leoncio private hospital. We’re thankful, because this means […]

Urgent Prayer Request

January 3, 2022

UPDATE ON HOW TO GIVE Hi,Some of you have mentioned having trouble with donating to Lini’s medical expenses. Apparently the scheme I described creates issues with IRS rules. I apologize. The mission is not allowed to have a designation “for Lini,” since she is neither a member of the mission or an official “project” of […]

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 […]
