“Thank the Lord It Is Not Good Friday”

March 24, 2016

This Thursday morning we awoke with the news that our Agutaynen neighbor gave birth to a son. At 6am, the village midwife was at our gate and excitedly shared with us all the details of the event that took place just a few hours before. If you don’t mind, we won’t share all those details […]

Those Coming Behind

March 22, 2016

My old body will one day turn to dust but my spirit and passion for missions will be forever more in the hearts and works of the young men following in my footsteps as I follow in the footsteps of those that have gone on before me. These young men from Germany and many others […]

Buffalo and Ducks…and other suprises

March 20, 2016

Sometimes when a day starts, you never quite know what it will hold. Like when you are going to a Chinese New Year something-or-other with friends (sometimes things get lost in translation) and you think it will be a big red dragon parade and instead you get rain, a variety of dragons, loud drums, a […]
