Back to work

Dear Faithful partners, After 3 days away, it’s back to work. Our time away was very relaxing. It’s amazing how relaxing it can be to sit by the ocean and just listen to the waves. The Lord gave us beautiful weather. The ocean was very clear. We even got out snorkeling one of the days. […]

12-Eyes that SEE, by faith

What does it mean to walk by faith and not by sight? To live with eyes of faith? I have shared a couple of posts in my study in the life of Christ. From the last 2 posts, it has been interesting to contrast the story of the Royal Official whose son was sick (John […]

A love for which we owe everything

No Rest for the Weary

Dear faithful prayer partners, Thank you for praying for my trip. It was long, we came back home exhausted, but it was so good. I am so glad I was able to go. While the purpose was primarily to get the house ready for one of our orientation families to live in for the next […]

How to pray for missionaries

How to pray for missionaries

“Dear God, bless our pastor and all the missionaries. Bless everyone, everywhere. Amen. That’s one way to pray, but it is neither sensible, nor very rewarding. In fact, that kind of praying soon becomes dull and boring. So, how do you pray for missionaries? It’s one thing to have prayer updates with specific prayer requests […]

The Mountain Full of Giants

Joshua 14:12 “Now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke of… where the Anakin are and great walled cities” At age 85, as Joshua was dividing up the Promised land, Caleb renewed his request for the mountain where the sons of Anakin lived.
