I stand rebuked!

February 5, 2010

Is God Awesome or what!? One of our neighbors stopped by wanting change for a thousand peso bill. That’s the largest denomination available and is difficult to change here in the mountains. Consequently we don’t like to give that kind of change but we’re leaving here soon and furthermore, he wanted to buy a Bible. […]

On their way!

September 4, 2009

The boxes have been picked up! Forex is a company we have used on a number of occasions. They deliver “door to door” but that doesn’t mean they’ll deliver to our door here in the village. (haha!) They usually estimate 6 weeks delivery time. Pray with us for a speedy and safe travel.

Translated it literally says, “God’s Book that is Life” one could say in smoother English, “The Book of God for Life.” God is not some nebulous being out there who has no interest in the everyday happenings of mankind. He […]

The packing begins!
