What is a Valentine? A token of love.

February 23, 2011

February is known for being the ‘Valentines Day’ month. Dean and I attended a ‘Valentines dinner and movie night ‘ at our church. When we heard that they were offering free child care for children 10 and under we could not resist the offer. Unfortunately the little bit of romance we had did not help […]

Badyranke may soon hear the Gospel!

February 22, 2011

We are rejoicing that after more than 25 years the Badyranke people of Senegal may for the first time soon hear the Gospel. Through many ups and downs and changes the Badyranke tribal team has persevered. The current team Eric and Wendy Stottlemyer, Rebecca Stottlemyer and Liev Poulson are getting close to being ready to […]

Who is my neighbor?

February 22, 2011

In the parabale of the Good Samaritan Jesus is asked the question, Who is my neighbor? His answer still challenges us today. Our neighbor can sometimes be someone that we do not like or who we are afraid of. Dean is keeping busy at work with his administrative assistant duties. He has made good progress […]

Carissa 2010

January 6, 2011

Hi, I’m Carissa and I started the year in 2nd grade. I used to go to Watsontown Elementary but now I go to Spirit Elementary. When Dad and Mom told me about moving to Florida I wasn’t sure what to think; I kept thinking about my friends. I miss my cousins and my friends in […]

Veronica 2010

January 6, 2011

Hi, I’m Veronica and I’m in Kindergarten. I started the year going to Watsontown Elementary school. I couldn’t remember a lot of the stuff the teacher was trying to teach me.

Hi, I’m Levi and I go to Pre-school. I started the year going to Milton Children Center. I really like going to Pre school because I have other boys to play with. I also like all the activities and games we play. I didn’t like the long trip to Florida so much but I’m happy […]

Mariah 2010

January 4, 2011

Hi, I’m Mariah and I started to walk at the beginning of the year. I’m glad that I’m over that stage because I was getting tired of falling over all the time. I can run around and climb and generally get up to mischief so much easier now. I liked our long road trip to […]

Tuti 2010

January 4, 2011

2010 was a mixture of anxieties, opportunities, disappointments, renewed hope, and a fresh start – with a milestone thrown in for good measure. After the disappointment of not being able to go back to Senegal at the end of 2009, it was exciting to have a new ministry opportunity open up early in the year. […]

Dean 2010

January 4, 2011

2010 started with me serving at the NTM mobilization center in Jersey Shore, PA doing general maintenance, some construction and grounds work. It had been over a year since I had first agreed to fill in there temporarily while we tried to raise more support to go back to Senegal. In November of 2009 God […]

Christmas Greetings This time last year we were in cold Pennsylvania but now we are in sunny, central Florida. Our location has changed but our desire to serve the Lord has not changed. We are extremely grateful to all our ministry partners who have stood beside us over the years, especially the last 3 years […]
