Where are Today’s Leader Youth?

August 18, 2019

When I was young (and dinosaurs still walked the Earth according to my kids), our youth group planned and carried out our weekend retreats and all of our youth events. For several years we built and entered floats in the local parade to reach out to the community. Another youth group in our area put […]

Have You Ever Wondered How Missions Keep Track of Everything?

November 1, 2018

I am guessing that the answer is “No”. Most most ministry partners have never had to consider how Ethnos360 keeps track of donations. I doubt you have ever thought about how we keep in contact with candidates who wish to become members. You may have questioned if Ethnos360 spends it’s funds wisely, buy have you […]

Working in Africa from Florida

I said, "Sure.", not realizing how very brain-intensive this accounting project would be.

Who Says God Doesn’t Work Miracles?

August 21, 2013

Many of you have been praying for us as we have been searching for a house. In December, we signed a contract on a house that was in foreclosure, and we waited three more months to hear from the bank holding the mortgage. On March 18 (Dean’s birthday), we got a call from our realtor saying that our offer […]

What do Pass-through Interchange rates have to do with being a Missionary?

That in turn means that $25,000 of our donors’ hard-earned donations can go to spreading the gospel, instead of going to the credit card company.

Birthday and Bye bye

October 1, 2012

It was sad to say goodbye but we were grateful for the special time we had together with my dad, and my sister and brother. It was also a joy to spend a little more time with my sister and her family in California before we returned to Florida. After a 3 hour delay we […]

Waikato museum

October 1, 2012

Dad and I visited the Waikato museum. A highlight for me was witnessing a group of Asian students with a local museum guide as he explained maori protocol for going onto a marae. They sang a beautiful waiata and were so respectful in their interaction. I wish Dad and I had more time as there […]

Hukanui Childrens Performance

September 26, 2012

We were so proud of Carissa for her willing participation in this play that was performed by the children of Hukanui Bible church. The children traveled around the world via a time/space travel machine. Their mission was to find Bible verses from each country that would give them a special message for the world. You […]
