Goodbyes

February 25, 2016

On February 10, just a little over a month after we said goodbye and returned to Asia Pacific, the Lord called my grandmother home to be with Him. Maw Maw leaves behind a legacy of love and care freely given to everyone who crossed her path. She always knew when someone needed an open door, […]

And We’re Off

February 25, 2016

We found a house and are moving in on Saturday! What a huge answer to prayer for us. We will be out of touch for a while as the internet is pretty much our only way of communicating with people outside Colombia and it will take a while to get it installed in our new […]

Update for the Fourth Week of February

February 22, 2016

Dear Praying Friends, Coffee anyone? Our Isnag neighbors are beginning to make this year’s rice fields and they are also busy harvesting and drying coffee. An impressive lizard made an appearance outside my office window last week. I ran out with the camera and took several shots before realizing that I didn’t have a memory […]

Growing Up

February 19, 2016

Four years old seems so grown-up to me. That’s the age when they start learning real things… like reading and counting and chores. That’s the age when you can have an actual, meaningful conversation with them that revolves around more than just food and toys. Judah turned 4 last month, and in the busyness of road-trippin’, […]

Written in the Dust

February 19, 2016

Where there once was green, lush grass, there is now bare, dry land. The village wells that once were filled are now dry and abandoned. Everywhere we look, we see the evidence that we need rain. Even though the rains ceased about four months ago, the flowers still bloom. However, their beauty is quickly covered […]

No One Cares For My Soul

February 15, 2016

Under the blanket of unconcern lays the reasons many people in the world today have never heard the gospel message. I must admit at times it is easier for me to pull that blankets over my head and move on than stop and do what I can do, you know, tell someone about the gospel […]

Update for the Third week of February 2016

February 14, 2016

Dear Praying Friends, This past week the village was much quieter than usual. Many people have gone to town to enjoy the fair-like activities that happen around fiesta time. The temperature has risen to a very comfortable 70° and the coffee trees near our house have blossomed. The warm […]

Who are the Unreached?

February 14, 2016

Who are the Unreached and what do we mean by that term? Here are some facts that might surprise you and should help answer that question (from the Joshua Project): Globally there are almost 2,600 people groups that total 199,000,000 individuals who do not have any Scripture, the Jesus film, or Christian recordings available in their primary […]

God knows you by name and by heart

February 13, 2016

What a great time to celebrate God’s love! God knows you by name and by heart. He is a personal God who knows exactly how many hairs are on your head (Matthew 10:30). You can’t read Psalm 139 and think that God is a distant, uncaring God. He is the exact opposite! That is why […]
