04-Following the Father’s Footsteps

04-Following the Father’s Footsteps

Our Situation:As a dad, there is always something special about seeing my kids follow in my footsteps. It’s really cute when they are little and you watch them try and literally step in your footsteps as you walk through the snow, or in the sand on the beach. But, as they grow, when you see […]

05-Know God, Know His Word

Our Situation:What is your view of the sovereignty of God? I thought that I believed that God was sovereign in everything, until I faced a challenge recently. I lost my passport. Now, you may be thinking, that’s not that big of a deal, why did it challenge your view of God’s sovereignty? Well, I prayed […]

Where Our Hope is Found

Where Our Hope is Found

Things were heating up in Thessalonica. The Jews (Acts 17: 5) had formed a mob and set the city in an uproar. They had dragged Paul and Silas’ host into the square demanding they hand over Paul and Silas. (Acts 17:6). So (Acts 17:10) the brethren thought it best to get Paul and Silas out […]

Fulfilling Prophesy Without Even Knowing it

Fulfilling Prophesy Without Even Knowing it

In Acts 13:27 Paul makes a statement that I think is very applicable to today. Listen to what he says, “Because they did not understand the utterances of the prophets which were read to them every Sabbath, they fulfilled them by condemning Him (Jesus.)” In the world’s rejection of truth, and rejection of those who […]

Laughing at God

Laughing at God

How often do we act like we know better than God? I think in my pride I would never admit that openly. Actually, often I think I even convince myself that is not what I am doing. But, the truth is, when I complain, or when I grumble about something, what I am really saying […]

03-When God is at Work, It’s Amazing

Our Situation:I love stories of God working. Can you picture those times when you have seen, without a doubt, that God was at work? From time to time I have recorded the events in our lives that, when we look back, the only explanation is that God did it. I haven’t been very consistent in […]

02-God Himself, Among Us

Our Situation:Have you ever had a situation when you were not there in person, but had to give instructions to someone else on how to do something? How did it go? Living overseas, we have had to rely on family members in the USA to take care of some financial things for us. When a […]

Getting Closer

Getting Closer

Dear Partners, Thank you for your continued prayers for us this week. It was very sad to read of the passing of our friend Phil Jansma. While we know God has everything under control, it’s hard to see this happen. Please continue to pray for his wife and 12 children, and their coworkers in Brazil. […]
