Stuck …

Stuck …

We were supposed to be on the road already. But each time the mechanic has fixed something on our car, he’s found something else wrong. Something else that means it is not reasonable to try to drive it back to Sanford. Since he’s an NTM mechanic, and he’s doing this for us on his time […]

Made it to our conference …

Well, Julie and I are in the second day of our conference here, and all is going well. We’re having a wonderful time reconnecting with missionaries who serve, literally, around the world, and are being enriched by some world-class teaching from Dr. Mark L. Bailey, president of Dallas Theological Seminary. But perhaps you are wondering […]

Most of the way, but …

We made it to Springfield, Missouri, where we’re spending Saturday before heading up to our conference next week. However, somewhere between the time we left Birmingham this morning and got to Arkansas about noon, the power steering pump in the car went out. The car is still driveable, just a lot harder to steer. I’m […]

Heading for Missouri

Heading for Missouri

We hit the road again Thursday, bound for a conference at our training center in Missouri. So I was, let’s say, disappointed that the car wouldn’t start when we tried to leave for church Sunday. Julie and I continue to drive thousands of miles for our ministry each year. I think the most reasonable course […]

Godliness with contentment

Godliness with contentment

Shame showed on Mesari’s face as she read 1 Timothy 6:6-8: Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. Mesari, who is helping Elli Schlegel translate 1 Timothy into […]

Happy for a headache

Happy for a headache

I am so glad I had a migraine last week. Because I had a migraine, I was home Friday morning when Julie felt an increase in pressure in her chest and an irregular heartbeat, and was able to take her to the emergency room. After 24 hours of observation, they still aren’t certain what is […]

How was Africa?

How was Africa?

I’m hearing great things about what you did in Africa last month. What’s that? You say you didn’t do anything in Africa? Yes you did! You helped train African believers to establish churches among unreached people groups. Oh, sorry, I’ve confused you, haven’t I? Let me back up. Missionaries in Africa had a problem. They […]

Save a witch

Save a witch

Why waste time talking about stuff you can’t change? In workplaces across the USA, people are talking about gas prices jumping. Few are talking about the woman tortured and burned to death after being accused of witchcraft earlier this month. But you can’t do anything about gas prices. Were you shocked by the recent reports […]
